hello,
i am a technical informatic french so i've a very bad english, sorry.

i've a problem for the "netdev"  parameter.
i've a dell 1950 with 4 nic, 2 onboard broadcom and 2 intel e1000.
the server boot from pxelinux with this parameter
i need to atribute eth0 to this card for a other script and i need to 
eth0 has the card of irq 17 and io 0xdcc0

quoted

LABEL gentoo-linux-2.6.24.4-scsi
  MENU LABEL gentoo, linux 2.6.24.4, boot scsi
  MENU DEFAULT
  MENU PASSWD toto
  kernel kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.24.4
  # options du noyau: root, init, ramdisk_size, initrd 
(Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt)
  # options du script linuxrc: real_root, no..., doscsi

ramdisk_size=8192 real_root=/dev/sda6 nodhcp nogpm nohotplug nosound 
doscsi initrd=initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.24.4

i tried to insert the netdev parameter :
netdev=irq=17,io=0xdcc0,name=eth0 netdev=irq=16,io=0xdce0,name=eth1  but 
after booting this parameter was not working: eth0 is not the card with 
irq=16/io=dcc0 and it the same for this other nic. ( ifconfig and lspci -v)


what is the problem ?? bad syntase or incompatible parameter ??

Hi,

I hope somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like this
method is used only by older cards, and not e1000 etc.
