[eepro100] second ethernet card dropped?

[hsiao-yu chen]

I have one eepro card,(eth0) which has been working good for a few years. I 
want to use another ethernet interface, using the last generation management 
plus adapter.


What I have done: insert the card, edit /etc/modules.conf to have two lines,

alias eth1 eepro100
alias eth0 eepro100

then, I rebooted the computer and eth0 is working but eth1 is not there.


Here are some diagnosis that I have done,

>dmesg
th0: Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 at 0xe800, 00:D0:B7:6C:47:7B, IRQ 5.
  Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
  Board assembly 721383-008, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
  General self-test: passed.
  Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
  Internal registers self-test: passed.
  ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).
eth1: Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 at 0xec00, 00:90:27:8C:44:86, IRQ 11.
  Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
  Board assembly 721383-006, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
  General self-test: passed.
  Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
  Internal registers self-test: passed.
  ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).


So I guess the kernel saw it, but

>ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:D0:B7:6C:47:7B
          inet addr:128.211.202.61  Bcast:128.211.202.255

          inet6 addr: fe80::d0:b76c:477b/10 Scope:Link

          RX packets:3550 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1610 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:153 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe800

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:684 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:684 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

As you can see, ifconfig shows no sign of eth1.

>cat /proc/interrupts

           CPU0
  0:     216787          XT-PIC  timer
  1:       6071          XT-PIC  keyboard
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  5:       5178          XT-PIC  Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 Ethernet
  8:          2          XT-PIC  rtc
10:          0          XT-PIC  Ensoniq AudioPCI
12:     120447          XT-PIC  PS/2 Mouse
13:          1          XT-PIC  fpu
14:     107159          XT-PIC  ide0
15:         63          XT-PIC  ide1
NMI:          0

So the interrupts are not a problem, it seems.

lastly, I compiled eepro100-diag.c and it shows

>./eeprotest -a
eepro100-diag.c:v2.02 7/19/2000 Donald Becker (becker@scyld.com)
http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html
Index #1: Found a Intel i82557 (or i82558) EtherExpressPro100B adapter at 
0xe800.
A potential i82557 chip has been found, but it appears to be active.
Either shutdown the network, or use the '-f' flag.
Index #2: Found a Intel i82557 (or i82558) EtherExpressPro100B adapter at 
0xec00.
i82557 chip registers at 0xec00:
  00000000 00000000 00000000 00080002 10000000 00000000
  No interrupt sources are pending.
   The transmit unit state is 'Idle'.
   The receive unit state is 'Idle'.
  This status is unusual for an activated interface.


Any help?
thanks,


carol
