Multiple Network Cards

[Stephen Dawes]

I am doing just what you are talking about using 2 isapnp Ethernet cards.

It is not 2 difficult to do.

If you like, I can try to send you the modules.conf and isapnp.conf files
from my machine to see what they look like.

By the way, both niches use the same NE module.
