All I have done so far is install the card into the box, and I have not added any additional drivers into the server It is indeed a different type of card from original that is in there -----Original Message----- From: Brian Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 12:02 PM To: Adrian Padilla Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: adding a second nic to trustix 2.2

Is it the same type as the first? If it is, you should be able to see it in 'dmesg' output. For example 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.27 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf8894800, 00:11:d8:b4:5c:d2, IRQ 17 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D' you'd also see a line for 'eth1'. If the board requires a different driver you have to load it. Like 'modprobe eepro100' then check dmesg again. If you see an 'eth1' line, it found the card. I know it works, I have 3 systems running TSL with multiple NIC's. After you figure out what driver to use, you add line(s) to /etc/modprobe.conf, eg alias eth0 r8169 alias eth1 eepro100 alias eth2 eepro100 This associates an interface with a driver and afer reboot will cause the right driver to be loaded when you try to configure the interface.
