Ethernet device limits?

[Phil Savoie]

Hi All,

Am using FC2 in Dell Optiplex.  I would like to use this box as a router and 
have an onboard 3comm plus 5 pci slots that I would like to use with Linksys 
pci cards.

Trouble is, although kudzu picks up all interfaces, which I have configured 
correctly, only eth0 to eth4 get recognized.  Where is eth5?  A quick look 
under /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts shows no entry for eth5.

Is this a limit?  If so, how do I increase it.   Although I haven't tried, do 
you think manually creating the eth5 file could do it?

Regards,
