Ok - I managed to get this working, kind of. I installed a fresh |
| 69 |
gentoo-sources, selected the forcedepth, skge and the sk98lin drivers as |
| 70 |
modules. Recompiled and booted. Then I downloaded the |
| 71 |
http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9elin.htm and |
| 72 |
ran the install. It did detect the network card!! I configued and |
| 73 |
rebooted. Both network cards did come up - I assigned different ip |
| 74 |
address to both cards ( both on the same network - 192.168.1.50 (eth0) |
| 75 |
and 192.168.1.55(eth1). The odd thing is if I plug in the eth0 card, I |
| 76 |
can telnet to BOTH ip addresses while eth1 is disconnected. If I |
| 77 |
disconnect eth0 and connect eth1, I cannot connect to either address. |
| 78 |
Am I missing something????????? or is this the correct behavior? |
