    |BTW, I guessed at the io address that DID respond and have since unloaded the module and tried every other io address to make the second nic work. Are there tools to probe for hardware responding on io addresses not listed

    |James If they are isa then (informatical) you need 'isapnptools' and to do a isapnp dump.
    Then a config of /etc/isapnp.conf is needed. There you chose the irq and the io(s)
    of your cards. (uncomment these lines)
    The isapnptools must be started at boot of course.
    The rest is a config of your cards as eth0 and eth1.
