<redundant> make sure you have run the config util that brian fritz pointed out, it is a life saver... <redundant>
also, check the bios for setting the pci/pnp option, I would leave it on, but on some newer bios' there is an option to reset the status of all the pci cards, try configuring the 3com first, add the intel, and then do the reset. That might help the intel card get a new irq. Last thing to check is the module load order. Remember that the first module loaded is going to be eth0. I would set that to the 3com, and pass the irq arguments to the module command line, that way when the intel is loaded it will recognize that the resources are already taken and it 'should' take a new irq. This is good for two reasons, one as mentioned above, and two because it allows everyone on the local net to be routed through a pci bus, with lower latency, and alternatively, the isa bus should be able to keep up with even a cable modem w/o any lagging. 3com 509 is a 10mbit (cable), while the intel pro/100 is 100mbit (LAN) ... just some other thoughts Joey Officer Martin Apparatus, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kyle A. Holder Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 8:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [leaf-user] Dachstein NIC Card Conflicts Hi. Here's my setup. P166/32 RAM Dachstein (Kernel 2.2.19-3-LEAF) Eth0: Intel PRO/100+ Management (PCI) Eth1: 3COM 3C509B-TPO (ISA) Loaded modules on startup: pci-scan.o 8390.o eepro100.o 3c509.o All modules load correctly, and self-test correctly. However, the network cards conflict with each other. This is apparent because when I take either card out of the motherboard and boot and connect it to the cable modem, the card picks up the lease, ip numbers, etc. I am able to ping outside the box. However, when both cards are in place, nothing works. I cannot either get a lease from the cable modem, or cannot connect to my LAN via the other card. There is no connect/active light on my hub when connected there. Is there anything I am doing wrong? Everything is configured according to both documentation and everything I could find in these lists, however, there still must be a missing link. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm new to this, and I don't have Linux sitting around where I can compile drivers... Thanks for your help in advance!
