Oops. All the ports are ok. I have tried one card on all the ports and all of them can detect the card. It seems that the computer can take 1 network card only.

Where to change the irq? Which irqs can be used or shared? How many are there? Are some irqs specially used for certain thing? Currently, my irq 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 13 are empty. Why autodetect can detect the extra card and assign an irq for it?

The irq numbers in bios setup is not in continuous form. They are under Power Saving Configuration area. So I guess it's not related to my problem. I cannot find any place to disable the auto detect feature.

What card is this? Who is the vendor and what is the model? I suggest you check whether the vendor provides newer drivers -- Seawolf is quite old. You could also try and boot with a live cd, or to a rescue mode of a later distribution install, and see if both cards get initialized.


isapnp: Card 'Relia RE-2019 plug & Play Ethernet card'

NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x240: 00 c0 0c 50 ...
eth0: NE2000 ...  using IRQ 10

Both card are the same type of card. Both are ok as they can be used on one same isa port. The other isa port cannot detect both of them so I guess it is spoilt. Do isa ports need drivers or controllers?


There's no place to enable second NIC nor isa port in BIOS. PCI, Serial, Parallel and IDE have in BIOS.

I think you should check if the network card is functional if it is check that the slot if working also. Then do your test again

Subject: Kudzu cannot detect 2nd network card


I am using Redhat 7.1 (Seawolf), Linux ver 2.4.2-2.

I have 2 network cards in my computer but kudzu detected 1 card only. Why? ifconfig showed eth0 and lo only.

Then, I setup 2 interface in Network Configurator in X-Win and reboot.


Kudzu still didn't detect and 'modprobe: Can't locate module eth1' at Bringing up eth1. eth1 cannot be activated on startup but it can be activate in X but cannot save.

So how do I configure the other network card? Both the network cards are the same. Network Configuration in Text Mode Setup can enter 1 IP only. dmesg shows 1 network card only.

Thanks in advance.
