[NTLUG:Discuss] two same model nics...won't load.

[Jack Snodgrass]

you usually load the module once. they are ( generally ) smart
enough to handle nultiple nics.

your /etc/conf.modules ( or /etc/modules.conf ) file would have
something like:

alias eth0 via-rhine
alias eth1 via-rhine

if you had two devices that used the same module.

What gives?.  I can't seem to get the eexpress nic module to load up
twice....one for eth0 and one for eth1.

What do I need to do?  Can one not use the same nic driver twice??
