I came across a mini-pci board that had got lost in the back of a cupboard. Needing a couple of extra ethernet ports on a board I thought I had found the solution to my problem. The board is a BVM MP-551, which has one RJ45 on the board and another on a daughterboard.
When I install the board it is recognised by lspci, and only one new ethX port is reported by ip addr. I do have the firmware on the machine, but it only gets loaded when I try to configure the port at which point all the PCI configuration has completed I guess. Curiously if I attach the second port to a router and start the first port it works. However the documentation insists that the two ports are supposed to be separate. Does anyone know how to enable the second port properly?
