LinuxQuestions.org - System is not detecting the two NIC's simultaneously

Hello all,
few days back i pluged in 2nd NIC on my Slackware 10.0 machine. Initially it did not recognize it......means although it was showing its entry in

Code:

#lspci

but ever after configuring it through

Code:

#vi /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

ifconfig eth1 was throwing error

Code:

root@bond:~# ifconfig eth1

eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found

root@bond:~#

but somehow ( i really don't know how, b'coz i didn't did anything ) it started working.

Then due to some reasons i reinstalled Slackware 10.0 yesterday. Now again i'm facing the same problem.

Now the entries of lspci are:

Code:

root@bond:~# lspci

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03)

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03)

00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02)

00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02)

00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02)

00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA USB (rev 02)

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA AC'97 Audio (rev 02)

01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: MYSON Technology Inc SURECOM EP-320X-S 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter

01:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

root@bond:~#

Now what i did, i removed both of them and then inserted them one at a time
when i pluged the "MYSON" one, during configuring it said

Quote:

A network card using fealnx.o module has been detected

and that time running

Code:

lsmod

was showing this modules entry in it.

then i repeated the whole procedure for "Realtek" card, it said

Quote:

A network card using the 8139too.o module has been detected

Now i plug the "MYSON", with "Realtek" already plugged in.
but now its not detecting the "MYSON".

Code:

root@bond:~# lsmod

root@bond:~#

You can see that its showing the module "8139too" only and not "fealnx.o" ( which it was showing when only "MYSON" was plugged in )

so what i tried to do now is to add the module "fealnx.o"

Code:

root@bond:~# /sbin/modprobe fealnx.o

modprobe: Can't locate module fealnx.o

root@bond:~#

Now what should i do ???

one more thing i tried.

#make xconfig
and then loading the ".config"..........then i was checking for ethenet cards.
i'm quoting few lines what i thought as relevent.

seeking for guidance
