RE: Setting up dual ethernet cards

[Larry Collier]

Marc,   Don't know about eexpress cards but I've only once been able to bring up 2 identical NICs in a Linux box.  I've never had any problem with 2 different NICs.  Someone else has noted the same on this list some months back.   You might try a different NIC to see if it helps.   Larry Collier     [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marc Nesheim Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 4:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Setting up dual ethernet cards I have an old 486 running redhat Linux 6.2.  I am trying to configure two Intel Ethernet express cards (ISA) in it.  Eth0 will come up fine, however eth1 will give the following error message when I type in ifup eth1   SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign request address SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign request address SIOCADDRT: No such device   My /etc/conf.modules looks like:   alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 eexpress alias eth1 eexpress options eexpress io=0x300,0x240 irq=5,10   If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem please let me know.   Thanks, Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED]
