I have 3 quad port nics i want to install in ubuntu.

lspci shows that all 12 ports are here:

but, ifconfig -a shows only up to eth8 (eth0 is integarted on mobo i use for internet connection).

The question:

How do i install eth9-eth12 for other 4 ports, and how do i find their mac address at all?


THX!

Maybe that IRQ has something to do with it?

I think you might wanna add them all to the /etc/network/interfaces file manually. I honestly dont know how to do that off top of my head by im sure google can help
redscorpion69
August 21st, 2009, 08:14 PM
I tried but couldnt find anything on this matter.

I'm not that good with ubuntu so i don't know how to add them.

I noticed in lspci that IRQ setting for 16,17,18,19 is repeating twice? Maybe that has something to do with?

Why is it giving last 4 lines ?

Tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora, they all read just 8 ports..
