22.5. Ethernet Parameters
Important
Most modern Ethernet-based network interface cards (NICs), do not require module parameters to alter settings. Instead, they can be configured using
ethtool or mii-tool. Only after these tools fail to work should module parameters be adjusted. Module paramaters can be viewed using the modinfo command.
Note
For information about using these tools, consult the man pages for
ethtool, mii-tool, and modinfo.

22.5.1. Using Multiple Ethernet Cards
It is possible to use multiple Ethernet cards on a single machine. For each card there must be an
alias and, possibly, options lines for each card in /etc/modprobe.conf.
For additional information about using multiple Ethernet cards, refer to the Linux Ethernet-HOWTO online at http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html.
