I had a similar problem a long time ago with 2 simple NE2000 cards and for
some stupid reason RH couldn't load another instance of the second driver.
What I did is basically copy the driver to another name and get the second
card to use that and worked...
So ne.o ended up being copied to ne1.o
But there must be a better way, right!?

Subject: [SLUG] modprobe woes
running debian slink
i have two intel etherexpresses, but cant seem to get them working at the
same time. this is a run down of what ive done
in /etc/modutils/aliases
alias eth0 eexpress
alias eth1 eexpress
options eth0 -o eexpress-0 io=0x270 irq=5
options eth1 -o eexpress-1 io=0x300 irq=10
then i run
update-modules
modprobe -r eexpress
modprobe -a /lib/modules/2.0.38/net/e*
but only one will ever be running. i can get the both cards up individually,
ping other hosts etc, just not at the same time .. very frustrating :/
ive tried "options eexpress io=0x270,0x300 irq=5,10" and an append line
similar to that in /etc/lilo.conf, still the same problem of only one
working. one odd thing i noticed was in a modprobe -c there's "alias eth0
off" nfi what its doing or how it got there, it's not in /etc/conf.modules
or /etc/modutils/*
im not too familiar with debian, maybe im missing something?
cheers
pete
