network card 3c509

[Mrs N P Salaria <nps@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
Recently someone was asking for configuration info on this net
with two 3c509 ethernet cards.. Please check what kernel you are
running and read the file Bridge+firewall
I quote from the same filke the following ....




       alias eth0 3c509
       alias eth1 de620
       options 3c509 irq=5 io=0x210
       options de620 irq=7 bnc=1





  You can tell if you use modules by using ``ps -aux'' to see if kerneld
  is running and checking that there are .o files in a subdirectory of
  your /lib/modules directory. You want the directory named with what
  uname -r tells you. If you have kerneld and/or you have a foo.o then
  edit /etc/conf.modules and read the man page for depmod carefully.


  Note also that until recently (kernel 2.0.25) the 3c509 driver could
  not be used for more than one card if used as a module. I have seen a
  patch floating around that fixes the oversight. It may be in the
  kernel when you read this.

******************Please read the above paragraph...
Hope this helps , nps
