Ethernet adapter difficulties

[Brian Densmore]

Jose,

It sounds like at least one is PNP because Windows is probably setting the
irq to 3, although rarely an ISA card will be jumpered to 3. You probably
won't see any irq info on these devices until you have them configured via
ifconfig. Although I would expect them to appear in the boot sequence.
Nic's are treated differently in Linux than other hardware. For example they
are not in /dev, but handled by networking software (so I read). Have you
tried to ifconfig the devices? I'm not sure what your problem is. If you
could be more specific maybe we could point you in the direction you need.

Brian

I am dual booting. I have two NICs and in Windows I found out they are on
irq's 3 and nine. When I issue this command in Linux: cat /proc/interrupts,
I don't see these two IRQ in use. What could be the problem? Please help!
Thanks.
