Hi again

I've fixed the problem below by reading the sysconfig file more 
carefully ;-[   (i added the right ifconfig bit) but is there a way of 
re-running the nice friendly script I was in the middle of?

How would I add a second network card? MAKEDEV doesn't do that...
I could add it at the default for ed0 (I've just got ed1, an ne2000 
compat at 300 irq5) but that seems a bit restrictive. What if I 
wanted three or four ethernet cards?

TIA
