H. I'm currently using two identical realteck network cards with the ne2k-pci.o module. The nice things about this is that since they are the same cards only one module is used for both. One automatically comes up on irq9 while on irq11. I did n't have to run the dos config utility but I could have if necessary. For the most part it will be very streight and simple getting two nics that are identical to work in the box. Raul A.
