[eepro100] eepro100 module does not appear to accept options for two NIC's

[Heath Harry]

Hi,
	Anyone having trouble pasring options=48 to more than one 82557's ? The
following /etc/conf.modules are configured as follows

[root@framer hharry]# cat /etc/conf.modules 
alias eth0 eepro100
options eth0 options=48 
alias eth1 eepro100
options eth1 options=48 
[root@framer hharry]#


the kernel ring buffer is as follows

It appears as though the eepro100 module will not accept the option set
for eth1 ?

anyone know a way around this problem ?
