two ethernet cards in a linux box

[rodney at sabletech.com (Rodney Thayer)]

here's what I did.

I use TWO NE-2000 clone cards.  I configure the first at i/o 300 irq 5, and
the second at i/o 340 irq 14.

I found the autosense code and the "specify it on the command line at boot"
mechanisms refused to find the second card.

I changed the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Space.c so that the entry
for eth1, instead of being autosense, had an explicit i/o address in it
(0x340 in my case) and I rebuilt the kernel and it worked.
