It seems that the driver.parameter syntax works only for parameters that the driver exports in /sys/module/driver/parameters. The ne driver doesn't define parameters at all when not compiled as a module, let alone export them via sysfs. The attached patch is my feeble attempt to remedy the situation. With the patch, adding "ne.irq=9,10" to the kernel command line sets the correct irqs for eth0 and eth1. --Ed
