[plug] 2 network cards

If you have 2 network cards using the same module driver (ne.o in this
case), what's the syntax in /etc/conf.modules to set up the 2 cards?  Or
could someone say where the HOWTO/MINI/Multiple-Ethernet document is?

The problem is (using this excerpt from the Bridging mini-HOWTO) that the
alias specifies the module by name, but you need two "options" to specify
the addresses of the cards (io=0x300 & io=0x320 for these cards).

alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 de620
options 3c509 irq=5 io=0x210
options de620 irq=7 bnc=1

A reference to the appropriate manual will do . .

Thanks

K.
