[rhn-users] eth0 & eth1 can't coexist?

[Alejandro Martin]

	Yes it can coexist.
	We have the same configuration and both working. In /etc/modules.conf
be sure that exist:
	alias eth0 bcm5700
	alias eth1 e1000	
	
	bcm5700 is primary ethernet card,
	and check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1.
	Our files are like this:

ifcfg-eth0
	
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=x.x.x.x
NETMASK=x.x.x.x
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

ifcfg-eth1

DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=x.x.x.x
NETMASK=x.x.x.x

	Our machine is HP dl580 and lspci output is:
0a:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82543GC Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 02)
0a:02.0 Ethernet controller: BROADCOM Corporation NetXtreme BCM5701
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 15)

	Regards.
