Hi,

login as root:
then press enter
then type your password
then press enter
then type in :                                    cd /etc
then press enter
type vi modules.conf
scroll down until you find something like
alias eth0 rtl8139                                     alias eth1 3c509
then press a
you are now in insert mode
change both eth0 and eth1 to
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
then press esc, to get out of insert mode
then type :wq
then press enter
you will see now:               "modules.conf" 42L, 685C written
[root@e-smith /etc]#
type cd /home/e-smith/
then type vi configuration
scroll down until you find
EthernetDriver1=rtl8139
EthernetDriver2=3c509
change that on the same way as discibed above.
at the end you will see
"configuration" 89L, 3433C written
[root@e-smith e-smith]#
then type:                               /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
this will take some minutes
after that reboot, and e-smith will use
both cards now.
good luck
