That should work for PCI cards.
Sometimes you need to add options statements for each of the eths in
conf.modules. If the cards are ISA and you've set the IRQ, IO/Address
then the conf.modules looks like:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options eth0 -o ne-0 io=0x300 irq=3
options eth1 -o ne-1 io=0x340 irq=5
(the -o option helps to keep things straight. ne-0 and ne-1 are
arbitrary names - call them foo and fee if you like)
Nice thing about unixes - there's always more than one way to get the
job done!
