I installed a fresh gentoo-sources, selected the forcedepth, skge and the sk98lin drivers as modules. Recompiled and booted. Then I downloaded the http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9elin.htm and ran the install. It did detect the network card!! I configued and rebooted. Both network cards did come up - I assigned different ip address to both cards ( both on the same network - 192.168.1.50 (eth0) and 192.168.1.55(eth1). The odd thing is if I plug in the eth0 card, I can telnet to BOTH ip addresses while eth1 is disconnected. If I disconnect eth0 and connect eth1, I cannot connect to either address. Am I missing something????????? or is this the correct behavior? Vernon -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
