[rescue] NICs?

[Steve Sandau]

I have three linux boxes with 3 NICs in them. They are at 0x280, 0x300
and 0x320. I use the ne module like so: /sbin/modprobe ne
io=0x320,0x300,0x280 which sets up the first one as eth0, and so on.
ifconfig for the second shouldn't do anything to the first if the ioport
and irqs aren't duplicated...

Be glad to supply any more details that might help...
