RE: [Plug] dual ethernet hassles
|
Not to confuse anything further, but I've had varying degrees of success
mixing network card. It might sound weird, but I've had pairs of cards
that just flat out refused to work together. Altho right now I have
2 dual card machines setup. On has a tulip and a 3c905, the other has
an ne200, and a eepro100. All I needed to do was setup the right aliases
in /etc/conf.modules and adjust the boot scripts accordingly.
J.
When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
