If you wish to configure multiple network cards of the same type whose
drivers are compiled into the kernel, you may need to use something
like
append = "ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1 ether=0,0,eth2 ether=0,0,eth3"
in lilo.conf. Otherwise the driver will only autodetect one card.
In order to use isapnp to configure devices, the drivers should be
modules, so that you can run isapnp before loading the drivers. In
this case, I find that things generally work better if you disable the
`PnP OS' option in the BIOS.
