Hi, I told you questions were coming :-) OK router box is SuSE 7.1 completely updated running suse kernel 2.2.19 i386. I have three NIC's (actually just added the third one for DMZ the other too was there always and there was not a problem as described below) ETH0 = Surecom (recognized as Realtek 8139) using rtl8139 module LAN ETH1 = 3Com 3c509 Fast Etherlink (recognized as 3c509) loaded with parameters irq=10 xcvr=0 connects to ADSL ETH2 = Intel EtherExpress Pro 10+ ISA this one is not loading yet I can manualy load the module eepro with params irq=5 io=0x210 ETH1 and ETH2 are plug and play and Compaq prolinea wants them that way :-( I tried ETH2 module to be loaded with boot.local it does but then ETH1 is not loaded. I tried with Yast (sorry I just hate yast2) and the problem is I can not integrate ETH2 since it is not visible. So question is how can I get this module loaded automaticaly Or make Yast see that Thanks -- Togan Muftuoglu

Togan, I would suggest adding (in this order) "rtl8139 3c509 eepro" to your INITRD_MODULES in rc.config, run mk_initrd, lilo. Make sure your options are added properly to modules.conf, and give it a try. HTH. :-) BTW, I am assuming they are already setup in rc.config (ifconfig_0,1,2;netconfig_0_1_2, etc [I would use Yast]). -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871

Ok I have tried the mk_initrd as you suggested yet it still fells. I never had such unstability problems. The current case is I have disabled PNP in Compaq's BIOS (at least that is what I think you never know it's compaq) I have set the irq and io settings as legacy isa cards in Compaq Added boot.local all the three modules in the order I want them So far when the system starts up all the modules are loaded and all the interfaces are configured (knock the wood). Routing stays as it should stay. I am sure more problems will come Thanks for the help -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
