My nic Hwaddr is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF can this be correct?
I want to start by saying I am a NB but very dedicated. I am trying to setup a dhcp , firewall, gateway server. I have installed installed 2 nic in the setup, one being a 3com (3c59x) and a linksys lne100 tx (tulip). When i plug BOTH cards in the hwaddr for eth0 (linksys) is detected as FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF the 3com hwaddr is detected fine . However when I only leave one of the cards in that cards address is detected correctly.
Should i ignore this will this affect anything or is this normal?
I've looked up for help but i don't seem to get very far. I try to configure the cards manually just in case if the problem was caused by the pnp. The problem i ran into is that how do I know the base location of a particular NIC? can I just enter any number?
second what command can i use to detect to see what device uses what irq?
any help is appreciated
