Title: Using two smc-ultra cards
Post by: Mark S on May 28, 2002, 03:18:57 AM
I noticed e-smith serverV5 does not included support for the smc-ultra.o driver in the setup screen.  I don't know if this was an oversight or folks a Mitel beleive smc-ultra is more trouble than it's worth.  Here is a post from Jim Greer that saved me hours.

"In the interest of preserving a bit of administration/
configuration trivia, I add the following to the
group's collective unconscious.

In order to configure 2 SMC Ultra cards in the same
system, you must add lines akin to the following to your
conf.modules (or modules.conf):

alias eth0 smc-ultra
alias eth1 smc-ultra
options eth0 -o smc-ultra-0 io=0x240 irq=5
options eth1 -o smc-ultra-1 io=0x260 irq=10

The IO's and IRQ's may vary, of course.
The SMC Ultra module is one of the few that must
have a separate copy of the code loaded for each
card, which is what the above syntax accomplishes."
