This line worked, where the other ones didn't. I guess order matters. It's showing up in /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports now. However, ifconfig still gives me a "no such device" error. >You didn't tell us if Linux actually found your cards. >Try this: > ># dmesg|grep ^eth >eth0: NE2000 found at 0x320, using IRQ 10. >eth1: 3c509 at 0x220 tag 1, BNC port, address 00 20 af 59 c8 1b, IRQ 12. >eth2: 3c509 at 0x210 tag 2, BNC port, address 00 20 af 59 cc af, IRQ 5. >eth3: 3c509 at 0x230 tag 3, BNC port, address 00 a0 24 b7 0e 77, IRQ 11. After the change above, I do indeed see both show up: #dmesg |grep ^eth eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 9 eth1: NE2000 found at 0x320, using IRQ 5 ifconfig finally allows me to execute the following commands: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth1 207.141.63.120 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 route add -net 207.141.63.119 netmask 255.255.255.255 eth1 route add default gw 207.141.63.119 (I have an internal BNC network running off eth0, and the rest of the internet on eth1 going through a gateway located at 207.141.63.119. ) And it looks like I'm off and running.
