[eepro100] second eepro100 does not work

Tue Oct 1 17:18:01 2002

Dear all,

I have some problems setting up two Intel Ethernet Pro 100 NICs
simulaneously.

One card (eth0) is connected to a DSL modem, the other (eth1) I
would like to set up for a LAN.

The problem is that eth1 never comes up correctly and it's leds stay
off.  However, both cards seem to be recognized correctly at boot
time, the kernel reports in /var/log/messages that eth1 is brought
up just as well as eth0, dhcpd reports to be listening/sending on
Socket/eth1/192.168.1.0, and it (192.168.1.1) is pingable.

PnP OS in the BIOS is disabled and after fiddling around with
different PCI slots I have no shared IRQs any more (see below).

Both cards work correctly on their own, when I swap them it is the
other one that fails (=> cards are OK).  Also, swapping UTP cables
does not change anything (=> cables are OK).

Below I include some characteristics of my system (Asus P3B-F board,
RedHat 7.2 with updated kernel 2.4.9-34).

I would be very glad if anyone of you has a solution.

Thanks in advance,

Sido Mylius.
