Hi, I have two pcmcia ethernet cards which do work. I am running them as a firewall and would like to have a bit tighter control about how and when they load.
Will specifying their i/o, irq parameters in lilo.conf let me specify which one is which.... as seems to be indiccated in the following tip? Note: These are PCMCIA cards, and thus not visible to the kernel till after cardmgr is running. <snip> --Detecting 2 ethernet cards-- To configure an ethernet card in Linux, you need to enable it in the kernel. Then the kernel will detect your ethernet card if it is at a common IO port. But it will stop there, and will never check if you have 2 ethernet cards. The trick is to tell the ethernet driver that there are 2 cards in the system. The following line will tell the kernel that there is an ethernet card at IRQ 10 and IO 0x300, and another one at IRQ 9 and IO 0x340: ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=9,0x340,eth1 You can add that line on bootup at the "boot:" prompt, or in the /etc/lilo.conf file. Don't forget to run: lilo That will reload the lilo.conf file and enable changes. </snip> aloha, dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
