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
eth1 is not even up.
Only eth0 is configured on my PC but the driver takes control of all the
network adapters.
It sounds like a limitation of insmod / e1000. I'm quite sure the latest
distribution won't fix that.
What is the problem you are trying to fix? Why do you care if the driver
takes controll of both cards?
