I have a cluster of Tyan Tiger MPX DualAthlons with embedded 3C920C chips and PCI Gigabit cards. Embedded cards are eth0, and are used for PXE booting, instalation, ... However, there are several computers which need a third card to connect them to the outside world. I happen to have 3C905CX-TX-M PCI cards for that purpose, and they use the same driver as embedded chips (which I compiled in the kernel). The problem is how to tell the driver to use the PCI 3com card as eth2, and not as eth0? The machines would then have the same configuration as the rest, with only one added card. Just for testing I tried to reverse their order by a lilo parameter: linux ether=0,0x2080,eth0 ether=0,0x2000,eth1 (the cards use the same IRQ=19, which I tried as well), with no success. -: 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html -: 02:07.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0x2000. Vers LK1.1.16 -: 02:08.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0x2080. Vers LK1.1.16 I am using 2.4.20 kernel and 3c59x driver from kernel sources. Has anybody succeeded in getting the order right? Should I try to use the driver as a module (I'd rather avoid the trying if the answer is known :-)?
