dual Intel PCI Pro100+ cards

[Gail Lange]

Hi -
  I have installed 2 Intel PCI Pro100+ cards (Redhat 5.2). I am using
modules. I had just 1 card in and then installed linux. I rebooted and it
recognized it as eth0 and in conf.modules it had inserted a line
        alias eth0 eepro100
Then I installed a second card. I added in conf.modules a second line
       alias eth1 eepro100
I rebooted but eth1 was not recognized. I did ifconfig eth1 and also tried
to ping another machine on that network.
     
  My question is - I would like to use modules (eepro100) for the 2 cards.
However, I read in the RedHat 5.2 installation manual (page 303) that if 2
ethernet cards use the same driver (as mine do), you must compile a custom
kernel with the driver built in. Is this actually tru or has anyone found a
way to avoid this by using modules?

(Note: my understanding of trying to give lilo parameters at boot time such as
    linux ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1
 does not work for modules. The driver must be built in. Is this also
correct? I tried this to no effect.)
    Thanks, Gail Lange
