RE: [newbie] Installing a second network card via command line

2004-04-28 Thread Troy Robinson
Hi guys, 

   just got a version of mandrake and was trying to get it to see my second
network card.  I have one of those VIA EPIA CL 1 Mini-ITX motherboards
(they're awesome) and it has two via-rhine III network cards.  Mandrake has
picked up the first card using driver/module via-rhine but it failed to see
the second network card (eth1) and it doesn't even have a module for it.  I
went into the modules.conf config file and added an alias for eth1 right
below eth0, i.e.: 

Alias eth1 via-rhine

But this did nothing.  Does anyone have any tips for me to get this
installed - unfortunately, I'm not running X or I'm sure it would be much
easier.  Thanks for any help you can provide. 

Regards, 

Troy

If you are using the 2.6 kernel then you need to edit modprobe.conf  not 
modules.conf

If that does not help you might learn something on the forum at www.linitx.org
