Deul NIC Issues


Can someone please help me. I am unable to get my second NIC to work at all. After i modprobe on the eth i am trying to bring up, i get an IRQ conflicts.. ie it is set to 0

Please someone help me to fix this issue. The NIC that i am trying to get up is a deul port NUC compaw nettelligent... All i am looking for is how to change my irq settings. I think that will solve the problem. Basically i need a HOWTo for linux boxes with 2 nic's. with different drivers. I am running rhat 7.1

Usually it's possible to pass parameter to module:
insmod your_driver irq=x
It works with may drivers, but I don't know this one you use.

OK so i swapped the Compaq card for a different one. At least this time i have some lights come up on the card. But now I am still having the same problem as befor. Both Nic's are assigned to the same IRQ 11. It looks like both come up at boot, but when i try to ping any station(ie 10.10.10.1/24) off of the new nic i don't get an RX traffic. I see it go out though!.. All my other machines default gateway's are the ip address of the bad port(ie 10.10.10.254/24 - the one that doesn't work) Please help The new NIC is a CNEt nic PRO 200 WL. It came with my Dell. I looked around and found that this driver doesn't take IRQ's as parameters. Please help any suggestions!!!

PCI devices can share IRQs, so this is not neccesarily a problem. What does "ifconfig -a" show?

I also noticed that eth0 the one that works is
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST RUNNING

While the one that doesn't work is only
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST

I hope that helps

Without the output of "ifconfig -a", I'm not sure I can do much more to help you.

Regards
