nightfox1405241487 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 Hello,A while ago before I installed Fedora Core 5, I tried installing Red Hat Linux 9 on the following system:-Intel Pentium III 900 MHz CPU-512 RAM-Dual Ethernet (10/100)However, during installation, the Ethernet cards were never found so I couldn't get online.Now, I'm installing Red Hat 9 on this (much) older computer, Pentium II and I don't remember the CPU speed, 128 RAM (I think) and this time during install, Red Hat found the Ethernet. This system has an 3Com card that was taken out of my other system.I was just wondering if Red Hat had any issues with dual Ethernet from different providers. I forget what card is in this machine.[N]F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 since you're running an old Linux distribution, there are only 2 ways to fix it:1) Check if the manufacturer has drivers to download.2) If not, you need to use Fedora Core or RHEL.Hope this helps!xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightfox1405241487 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 Ah, well, never really use dual Ethernet anyways. When Windows was on this machine, I just used one for web server requests and another for FTP. Until I switched this machine over to Linux. I just never pulled the other card out. All my other distros (except SuSE) were fine with the dual card setup except Red Hat. I was just wondering if there was some sort of compatability issue or something. Thanks![N]F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 I often used RedHat on systems with several ethernet boards, never had problems. I expect Fedora to also have not problem, provided that each adapter has a working driver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
