dual network cards

The file should have the line you use to compile it inside of itself, which
is really helpful. From there you proceed with the .o file as you would
inserting a kernel module, which is carefully.

Have you tried the lilo append for the ethernet cards yet? It's in the RH
5.2 manual, which is at home...but that's what got them working for me
(3C905 and a 3C905B, both PCI, in one of my boxes).

The cards are pci and I do have the aliases set up. I found out that
linksys has the new driver, I just dont know how the heck to install it. It
is tulip.c from their site.
