Hi friends, I am using two net cards ( Intel Pro /100+ and 3COM 3C90x both PCI cards). When linux is started both cards use IRQ 11 . When running "Ifconfig " , only Intel card properties are shown on "eth0" . I can ping Intel card IP address but not any computer on the network. On the other hand I am unable to assign IP address to 3COM card. Your help is highly appreciated.
