Hi Thomas.

One of my systems has SIX ethernet cards, these being three ISA and
two PCI NE2000 clones and a DEC Tulip. Here's the relevant section of
modules.conf on the system in question:
Q> alias eth0 ne
Q> options eth0 io=0x340
Q> alias eth1 ne
Q> options eth1 io=0x320
Q> alias eth2 ne
Q> options eth2 io=0x2c0
Q> alias eth3 ne2k-pci
Q> alias eth4 ne2k-pci
Q> alias eth5 tulip
Best wishes from Riley.
