Hi,
Anyone know why I would have 3 ethernets defined when I only have 2..?
I had an Intel EtherExpressPro/10+ (eepro) which is a tad flaky (tx errors), and
today added a 3Com 3c905B-TX... When I used DrakConf to configure it, I thought
it was weird that I was asked for eth[012] parms...
Now, I get:
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:AA:00:CF:8D:65

I've searched for a couple of hours and can't find anything related to this.
Any reference to multiple ethernets is for deliberately configuring such.
I'm running LM7.2/kernel2.4.0...
Still researching; but hoping someone has a pointer to the right path...
Thanks,
Pierre
