[lug] card detected but no eth1

[Nate Duehr]

For the Tulip cards, check out the section about LILO configs on:
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html

And since Donald Becker wrote just about all of the NIC drivers for the i386 
platform, you can probably find info about any card you own and how to use the 
drivers at:

http://www.scyld.com/network/

(...he's no longer with NASA, he's at scyld.com now...)

The specific notes are:

When the driver is pre-linked with the kernel the media type option above may 
be set as the third "LILO" parameter e.g. 

  ether=0,0,media-type,eth0
  ether=0,0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,0x200,eth1

Note that he defines the IO base address for the second card.  Perhaps even 
with P&P you still have to give the kernel the info on how to find that second 
card...?
