I had a similar problem when I had two ne2000 (clones) in my machine. Obviously, the module (not compiled in the kernel!) couldn't handle two nics right away. Now I use one ne2000-isa and one pci. The problem was, that the module ne was already in use when I wanted to load the second module for the second card. Solution was to compile ne into the kernel and load ne-pci as a module (or vice versa). -- Tschoe, Jens
