RE: [TCLUG:18250] multiple ethernet boards

Compile the driver for NE2000 ISA into the kernel.  Then pass a command to
the kernel when it boots (via lilo).  append="ether=3,0x300,eth0
ether=irq,io,eth1 ether=irq,io,eth2"  (you can fill in the blanks).  It will
work just fine.  It is in the Ethernet HOWTO I believe (it could be the
Networking HOWTO).

I'm setting up a firewall server.  It has 3 network cards.. eth0 is to the
DSL, eth1 is to the DMZ, eth2 is to my masquerade.  The cards are are
identical NE2000 compatible.  I 'modprobe ne.o io=0x240 irq=10' and eth0
pops out.  ifconfig brings the interface up with all the IPs and it
communicates just fine.  Apparently I can only load a module once, because
I do 'modprobe io=0x300 irq=3' for my next card, and I don't get an eth1.
Any ideas how I can make 3 identical cards be assigned to eth0, eth1, and
eth2?  Thanks.
