I justr set up a system with 6 interfaces on an old Compaq DESKPro.
eth0 is the Pro's original card, an Intel Pro 100.
eth1 is a 3com 3c905b
eth2-5 is the DFE-570TX
Eth0 & eth1 are working and passing data.
all 4 of the DFE ports do not seem to be working, even though they seemed to install properly.
My test was to put a system on them and ping that port and then check the ifconfig output to see if any packets were received. As you can see from the report below, RX packets is 0 [:(]
Any suggestions? Is it an Interupt thing? At install all of the cards were reported to be using Interupt 11.
