E.3.1 Using Multiple Ethernet Cards

You can use multiple Ethernet cards in one machine. If each card uses a different driver (e.g., a 3c509 and a DE425), you simply need to add alias (and possibly options) lines for each card to /etc/conf.modules. See Section 8.2.2 for more information.

If any two Ethernet cards use the same driver (e.g., two 3c509's or a 3c595 and a 3c905), you will need to either give the two card addresses on the driver's options line (in the case of ISA cards), or (for PCI cards) simply add one alias line for each card.

For more information about using more than one Ethernet card, see the Linux Ethernet-HOWTO. If you installed the howto package when you installed Red Hat Linux, you can find it in the file /usr/doc/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.
