From: Ronald A. Yacketta
what I did with my two nics is enter the bios and force the IRQ for each
PCI slot that holds the NIC's
I set PCI sloti 1 to IRQ 9 and PCI slot 2 to IRQ 10.
after I booted up and recompiled the new drivers for my rtl8139 and tulip
NIC's with the associated
insmod and modprobe all worked well
I then enter liloconf and setup eth0 and eth1 accordingly.
did a ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0, dhcp connected got ip etc..
ipdown eth1 ifup eth1 all went well thier as well
hope this helps, if not sorry I could not help.

Subject: Re: [newbie] adding another NIC
I can successfully setup and connect to the 'Net on my cable modem with one
NIC, but I want to add a second NIC for a home network. Is there an easy
way
to add another NIC (of different chipset/manuf/style(PCI/ISA)) and set it
up
with little/no trouble? I know that L-M 6.0 supports the NIC's I
have...it's
just that when both are in the 'puter during primary install I get alots of
problems ie: one or both NIC's [FAILED}( for vaious reasons...usually
conflicts with addressing) during boot up???
TIA
Jaguar
