Subject: Network cards and lilo

Vger,

I have a problem with two non-PNP network cards.  They have been working 
for about five years in an old Linux box no problem, by passing in lilo:

append="ether=3,0x320,eth0 ether=15,0x340,eth1"

Using the NE2000 driver in the kernel.

Just upgraded to Linux 2.4.20.  Recompiled and installed, and now I get 
just one network card, not both of them.  The second one is missing.

Doing an 'lsdev':

Device            DMA   IRQ  I/O Ports
------------------------------------------------
ide0                     14  01f0-01f7 03f6-03f6   f000-f007
ide1                     15  0170-0177 0376-0376   f008-f00f
NE2000                    3

I can see that the kernel has assigned the IRQ 15 I need for my second 
network card, to 'ide1'.

I would guess this is why my network card is not showing.

As these are ancient cards which can not easily be reprogrammed, is 
there any way to tell the kernel to honour my network cards, and not use 
IRQ=15 for the IDE?

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Ben Clewett.
