In one of my machines at home I have two ethernet adapters, one is a DE200 and the other is made by SMC and is based around the tulip (21040) chip. I can't get both to work at the same time with Linux!!!! I have both working just fine with Windows NT so its pretty certain it is not a hardware problem. If I build a kernels with just the DE200 they work find and if I build kernels with just the DE4x5 driver they work fine but if I build a kernel with both only the DE200 is seen. I have tried creating a loadable module with the DE4x5 and that seemed to find the device when using the kernel with the DEPCA driver but I was unable to ping or anything else using the SMC adapter. Anyone have any ideas? Chris

As a late reply, it's probably an IRQ problem. There's some ewrk3
config utility lying around somewhere. Use that and change the DE200's
IRQ to something else (I hate the ISA bus).

Actually, there's some magic you have to do to use two Ethernet
adapters (I've never done it). See the Ethernet HOWTO...
On RedHat Linux (if you have the docs installed)...
zless /usr/doc/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.gz
Search for section 3.2.
