Multiple NICs questions have been asked many times I managed to get 3 NICs
to work but I require them to startup in a specific order. So far I have
failed to do that.
The PC has 4 PCI slots with the following configurations:-
PCI Slot 1 : IRQ 10 , contains a 3Com 3C900B NIC
PCI Slot 2 : IRQ 11 , contains a 3Com 3C900B NIC
PCI Slot 3 : IRQ 12 , contains a HP 10BaseT NIC
PCI Slot 4 : IRQ 9 , display card
I manage to get the 3 cards to work by having the following entries in
/etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 3c59x
alias eth2 hp100
The requirement is for the NICs to load in the order of:-
i) NIC in PCI Slot 1
ii) NIC in PCI Slot 2
iii) NIC in PCI Slot 3
Somehow the NIC in PCI Slot 2 always get loaded first.
I have tried using parameters at the LILO boot prompt. It is as follows:-
linux ether=10,,eth0 ether=11,,eth11 ether=12,,eth2
It does not help at all.
So, the question is, how do I get the NICs to load in ther order I want
them to be loaded? BTW, the NIC drivers are all compiled as modules.
Thanks in advance.
