device eth2 does not seem to be present

I have 3 NICs.

It doesn't matter which card (driver) I alias as eth2, I get a error
message like "sundance device eth2 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization." Sundance works fine when it is either eth0 or eth1. The
same thing goes for the other drivers/cards.

What is my problem?

TIA, Duane

Assuming a modern motherboard - cards _may_ be PCI or one NIC may be on the
motherboard. What do you see in /proc/pci? Else, what do you see with
'lspci -v'? What do you see in /var/log/messages when the kernel boots.
