[SLUG] 2nd NIC

[Kevin Waterson <kevin@nospam.oceania.net>]

I am installing a second NIC for a firewall (RH 6.1)

I have in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=10 eth0
ifconfig eth0 203.41.132.76 netmask 255.255.255.192 up
route add default gw 203.41.132.75 eth0
so this interface is active at boot.

This works well and I can ping outside the network.
Then I try to add the second NIC
I try
modprobe ne io=0x240 irq=5 eth1
while this does not report an error it does not add eth1 so
I am unable to use ifconfig.

I have tried adding to /etc/conf.modules the following
alias ne eth0
alias ne eth1
options ne 0x300,0x240
 but this will not see eth0 or eth1

All suggestions greatfully recieved

Kevin
