Hubert, Thanks for the instruction on how to set ne options for 2 NICs. I assume that eth0 will be assigned to the 1st i/o,irq combo and eth1 to the 2nd combo. I am attempting to configure this box as a router between two subnets and want to be sure the IP address assigned to each NIC will not change on subsequent reboot i.e. eth0 always goes to 0x300,5 and eth1 goes to 0x320,10.

I have installed SuSE 5.2 on a system with 2 NE2000 (ISA clones) (IRQ,I/O are NIC1 5,0x300 and NIC2 10,0x320).
[I have also built a non-modular kernel and pass the parameters thru the append directive in LILO. This works fine. However, I would like to understand how to use the "ne" modules as an alternative]
During installation and subesquent reboots the first card is recognized correctly but not much luck with the 2nd NIC.
Relevant entry in /etc/conf.modules for the NIC is:
alias eth0 ne
....further down the file....
options ne io=0x300 irq=5
I would appreciate if some one could show me how to pass the parameters for the 2nd NIC vi /etc/conf.modules.
Use the line:
options ne io=0x300,0x320 irq=5,10
Also, I rceommend to add both following lines:
alias eth0 ne alias eth1 ne
so the order in which you access the cards doesn't matter.
Thanks. Arun Khan
