HOW TO DO THIS?

[omicron]

i have two network card in my computers. i'm using redhat 7 and i cant install both of them! i have to set my bios to diable PNP, for redhat to detect at all. but it just detect ONE card and i've tried insmod and also depmod and both not work. I think it cant pick it up becoz they're on the same irq? but they have different IO. any ideas how to set up both cards to work? thanks a lot!

Try moving one of the cards to a different slot.

type /sbin/ifconfig
if only one network card is up type
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 up

does it go up?

poke around some more...

insmod and depmod are to do with drivers. you only need one for each make of card that you have.

i haven't tried using 2 cards. so post again what happens.

I have two nics in this mandrake 8 box, it detected both and even asked me which one the wan was connected on. The 2nd one goes to my local network, works quite nicely.

I have used linux with two network cards before and I had a similar problem initially. It was a problem with linux not liking my Linksys NIC, it recognized the 3com card just fine....I had to do some work with the tulip.o driver to get my Linksys to work right....

What kind of NIC's are you trying to setup? If they are different brands this might be something to look into.
