into the kernel, or loaded module. If one NIC works and they are the same type,
then the existing driver will support both. If you find you need another
module, then use ‘insmod’. You can also execute ‘mobprobe
driver.o/driver.ko’ to test a particular driver. Sometimes an alias is
needed in /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modutils/* for eth1 pointing towards the
driver and (rarely these days) giving parameters (I/O, IRQ, etc). Try ‘ifconfig eth1 up’ and see
if anything shows in the ifconfig list. If you get that far, then ‘ifconfig
eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ will get it up and running with an IP address of
your choice. Otherwise, use dhclient/dhclient3 to get a DHCP address. Permanent setting up of the interface
requires changes to /etc/network/interfaces. Cheers, Nigel |
