Ah, I had forgotten about that. As Llama says, it is the PCI id that makes the difference. On Mon, 2003-01-27 at 16:48, Joel Hammer wrote: > Sometimes an IRQ is shared between two PCI devices. I haven't seen sharing > between two Ethernet devices on two of my linux boxes, however. > > cat /proc

Figure out which PCI slots are which (each has a number), then try assigning IRQ's to each of your NIC slots and see if a higher or lower IRQ affects the ordering of the ETH settings. I've never tried to actually specify which is which, but that's how I would try to do it. On Mon, 2003-01-27 at 1
