Table A-6. Ethernet Parameter Configuration Examples

Configuration	Example
NE2000 ISA card at IO address 300 and IRQ 11	ne=0x300,11 ether=0x300,11,eth0
Wavelan card at IO 390, autoprobe for IRQ, and use the NWID to 0x4321	wavelan=0,0x390,0x4321 ether=0,0x390,0x4321,eth0

Using Multiple Ethernet Cards

You can use multiple Ethernet cards in one machine. If each card uses a different driver (for example, a 3c509 and a DE425), you simply need to add alias (and possibly options) lines for each card to /etc/modules.conf. See the Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide for more information.

If any two Ethernet cards use the same driver (such as two 3c509 cards or a 3c595 and a 3c905), you will need to either give the two card addresses on the driver's options line (for ISA cards) or simply add one alias line for each card (for PCI cards).

For additional information about using more than one Ethernet card, see the Linux Ethernet-HOWTO at http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html.
