Here are some examples of these modules in use:
Table A-6. Ethernet Parameter Configuration Examples
| Configuration | Example |
|---|---|
| NE2000 ISA card at IO address 300 and IRQ 11 | ne=0x300,11 ether=0x300,11,eth0 |
| Wavelan card at IO 390, autoprobe for IRQ, and use the NWID to 0x4321 | wavelan=0,0x390,0x4321 ether=0,0x390,0x4321,eth0 |
You can use multiple Ethernet cards in one machine. If each card uses a different driver (e.g., a 3c509 and a DE425), you simply need to add alias (and possibly options) lines for each card to /etc/conf.modules. See the section called Loading Kernel Modules in Chapter 3 for more information.
If any two Ethernet cards use the same driver (e.g., two 3c509's or a 3c595 and a 3c905), you will need to either give the two card addresses on the driver's options line (in the case of ISA cards), or (for PCI cards) simply add one alias line for each card.
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html For more information about using more than one Ethernet card, see the Linux Ethernet-HOWTO at http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html. If you installed the howto package when you installed Red Hat Linux, you can find it in the file /usr/doc/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.
