thanks Keith for the reply last night i did play with the modules.conf. what happens is when i write alias eth0 dmfe alias eth1 8139too options dmfe irq="5" options 8139too irq="6" adding the options on reboot the eth0 and eth1 don't get loaded and if i take those lines out again i get a huge error message on reboot: eth0 out of sinc - it's nice to have a boot image on a floppy... i also tried # ifconfig eth1 irq 6 and i get: irq: SIOCSIFMAP: Operation not supported according to ifconfig manual you can use that... i'm afraid i'll have to rebuild the kernel - when i was installing the os both card where in the machine already and i think they were compiled as internal modules... any other suggestions?! thanks > > >http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-modules-ethernet.html > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
