Hi group,


I am harsha, please bare with me i am new to this group


I am trying to configure my slack 10.2 box to support 2 ethernet cards,

the two cards are:


sis900C => using driver sis900 [built in to the mother board]
realtek 8139 => using driver 8139too


kinfocenter (hardware browser) listed both the cards.


I connected the network cable to sis900 and did netconfig, assigned IP
192.168.1.11 to sis900
netconfig din;t prompt for configuration of second ethernet
card ie.,
realtek??
ifconfig command displayed configurations for only sis9000
I tried to ping sis900 from an other system - it said time out


I manually added eth1 and assigned IP 192.168.1.12


then I connected the cable to realtek card and tried to ping
both the cards were pinging


I did netconfig(with cable connected to eth1)
both the cards doesn't ping


after manually adding eth1


I did ifconfig it displayed configuration of both eth0(sis) and

eth1(realtek)


now I did /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart


and then did ifconfig it displayed just eth0 and eth1 was
vanished


I remove realtek card and started the box
siscard was pinging and it was perfect


I suspected that I must be hardware conflict then I connected the
realtek card back and
booted back in to windows to by shock both the cards were running at a
time with no problem


I found that both the cards were using same IRQ = 19 under windows
and in Kinfocenter the IRQ displayed for the cards IRQ = 11 again same
IRQ


here is the info of the cards:


SIS900c:
I/O range : E800 - E8FF
Memory Range : ED102000 - ED102FFF
IRQ : 19 (in windows), 11 (in slack)
Driver Used : sis900


RealTek 8139/8139+:
I/O range : EC00 - Ecff
Memory Range : ED104000 - ED104FFF
IRQ : 19 (in windows), 11 (in slack)
Driver Used : 8139too


I also tried adding alias to


/etc/modprobe.conf
/etc/rc.d/rc.d.inet1.conf


alias eth0 sis900
alias eth1 8139too


each time I made changes I was restarting the rc.inet1 daemon
I am using, slack 10.2 kernel - 2.4.13


ended up in vain...


This is some thing strange, I am finding it difficult to add the
realtek card
and make it recognised by slack, can any one please help me solve this
problem,
so that I can make my box to use both the cards.

Read chapter 5 of The Book: http://www.slackbook.org/html/book.html

or just

1) edit /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice,
add two "/sbin/modprobe nic_module" lines in desired order.

2) edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
fill-in the addresses / masks and set default gateway.

3) reboot
