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

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,

Perhaps in /etc/modules.conf

IIRC, There are also some settings in /etc/sysconfig/network file.

What exactly do you want to do? Disable to other card completely?
