Thanks for both of your replies, I attemped once again to set these
NICs up. I edited the conf.modules file to look like:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth0 ne
options eth0 ne-0 io=0x300 irq=11
options eth1 ne-1 io=0x280 irq=10
>From what I have read (ethernet HOW-TO, Modules.conf man pages) this
loads the module for each respective alias. After making these
ajusments I modprobed eth0 and modprode eth1 with no error messages!
Afterwards I restarted my network using the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network
restart" command and received an error when bringing up interface eth1.
The ouput looks like this:
Shuting down interface eth0 [Ok]
Shuting down interface eth1 [Ok]
Disabling packet forwading [Ok]
Setting network parameters [Ok]
Bringing up interfeace lo [Ok]
Bringing up interfeace eth0 [Ok]
Bringing up interfeace eth1 Delaying eth1 initialization
[Failed]
I have eth0 set to 192.168.0.3 with a 24
bit subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and eth1 set to 192.168.0.3 with a 24
bit subnet mask so an IP addressing error is out of the question.
Before I made these ajusments to the /etc/conf.modules file I used to
receive a "Device or resource busy" error when bringing up interface
eth1. We can almost rule out any hardware or firmware conflict now.
How can I take a look at my devices resources (IO's and IRQ's) and see
which modules are using them?
Thanks again for your help....
