2 3com nics, 1 box :)
Hey all. I am trying to setup 2 3com 509B ISA cards in 1 machine. if I do ifconfig -a I see eth1 and eth0. they are both using the same resources (IRQ 10, address 0x300) so obviously I can only assign 1 of them a IP. I know I can do something in modules.conf but im not sure what I should do. I know which IRQ's are available but I dont know what 'io' options I should use. I figure I could use IRQ 11, anyone know what io address would go with that. Sorry if this is a dumb question or makes no sense.. hehe.. Any help is appreciated!!

Re: 2 3com nics, 1 box :)
Hello, I have experience with 3com's 509B. It is a difficult card to configure, but easy to do. Go to 3com's website and download the second driver disk. Unpack it (might work with upzip, else you should load msdos) and copy the file 3c5X9CFG.EXE to a floppy. Start with a bootable floppy and run this configuration program. Turn off Plug and Play mode (Linux is unable to use this plug and play mode). Now set manually the right irq's and io's. Write it down and start modconf. Set as paramaters irq=10,11 io=0x300,0x200 or whatever. That should do it ;) Greetz, Sebastiaan On Sun, 12 Nov 2000, fut0n wrote: Hey all.

Try assigning IRQ' s for your ISA nics in the BIOS. Then they should work on different io addresses.

Start with a bootable floppy and run this You could also apt-get install 3c5x9utils instead, and run 3c5x9setup --help. You'll notice you can assign IO and IRQ addresses to each card. I am not sure if 3c5x9setup can disable the plug-and-pray mode, though. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
