I for one would kind of appreciate a deeper discussion on this topic.
I'm trying to set up a firewall box with three NICs. All three are
ISA-bus NE2000 clones but I have only been able to obtain a
driver/utility floppy for one - the one that's badged as an IBM card.
My understanding is that as long as I have the "ne" driver available as
a module or compiled into the kernel, I can get all three cards to work
as long as I can find usable and non-conflicting IRQ and memory settings
for the cards, actually get the cards set to those settings, and set
eth0 thru eth2 up in linuxconf (no X on this machine).
I printed out the Ethernet-HOWTO and took it with me when I went scoping
for $5 ISA-bus cards at Microseconds. I'm kind of sorry I didn't try to
hunt down more of those IBM cards because they support a shared-memory
mode and the utility floppy is real comprehensive.
