[Server-devel] Schoolserver and eth1

Tom,

Here's what's weird.
The server came with one nic (the box is a Del Vostro). I added the second.
Now, only the second works, and only as eth0. And, when it works as eth0, I
have an internet connection.
I tried installing two new nics, but only one shows up.

I would imagine that I don't have the drivers for the first (original) one.
Does that make any sense?
If so, what could I do?

Thanks.
Gerald
