I posted the following a day or two ago, for someone who wanted to use 2 3C509's. Procedure: a) Put one ethernet card in the machine at a time, configure each one seperately with the setup disk supplied by the manufacturer (most of these setup programs can't handle 2 of the same type of ethernet cards in the machine at the same time). b) Once done, put both cards back in the box together. c) Duplicate the single ep0 line in the kernel config, make it ep1, adjust the values accordingly for the differnet IRQ etc of the second card. d) Build your kernel, reboot and hopefully it'll find them as ep0 and ep1 and you have yourself one ethernet to ethernet router. (Maybe someone would like to put the above in the FAQ/handbook, whatever). -Paul- -- Paul Civati =O= Home: paul@xciv.org =O= http://www.xciv.org/ London UK =O= Home: paul@xciv.demon.co.uk =O= Slackware is.
