Re: How to load an Ethernet driver on only one adapter

Hi,

I'm using a PC with two Intel Gigabit adapters (i8254x). When Linux
(RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.24) boots, it calls "insmod e1000.o" and the
driver initializes and takes control of both adapters. Is there a way to
restrict the e1000 driver to only one adapter? I've searched in the
driver parameters but there is nothing obvious.
Thanks,

Redhat 7.2 has ended it's life a long ago, why don't get and install
some latest distro?

Not sure about 7.2, but you just need to put one of these down with:

# ifdown eth[0|1] # choose either 0 or 1
