Hello,
For the life of me I cannot get the 2nd NIC in my box operational.
Here is what I've got so far:
1) Debian Linux running kernel vrs. 2.4.27-3-686 kernel.
2) I have two network cards, one is internal, the other a PCI card. The onboard NIC works fine when the PCI card isn't installed, but when the PCI card is installed only it works - the onboard NIC does not. In short - both NICs appear to be supported.
3) See the end of this post for the output from lspci -vvv prints (for the nics):
I'm using grub as my boot agent and have tried appending various ether=x,y,eth1 arguments to the kernel, but none seem to work. No matter what I do ifconfig shows eth0 and the loopback. ifconfig -a will show eth0, eth1 and the loopback. ifup eth1 always returns with "ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1".
Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Ben
