Re: [newbie] Multiple ethernet cards
I had pretty much the same thing happen with my cable modem setup. The problem was caused by IRQ conflicts. Something odd with the Intel cards I used? It sounds weird, but try simply switching the slots for the ethernet cards. Put eth0 where eth1 is, and vice-versa. This worked for me.

Don't really know why Bryan snip Unfortunately, the 3C509b is an ISA card and the genius is a PCI. My MB has only 2 ISA slots, one used by the soundcard, and the other by the ethernet card so I can't switch. The setup works with (yuk) win2000 and win98, so I don't think IRQ conflicts are the problem. My next move will be to try modprobe 3c509 as suggested by another answer. Thanks for the suggestion though, It increases the knowledge base.

I think there MAY be newer drivers for the 3Com, Or, you may need to boot to DOS and use the 3Com setup util to make sure Plug -n- Pray is turned off on that card. John
