Re: [Plug] dual ethernet hassles


When I used more than 1 card under linux, I had to specify ethX=1,2,3
as an append line in lilo.conf, I can't remember exactly what it was, but
I'm ure it's in the Ethernet-HOWTO...


er, this is from that HOWTO:

 LILO: linux ether=5,0x300,eth0 ether=15,0x280,eth1
