[tulip] Using multiple DFE-570TX

[Raphael GEYER]

Hi,

I can't make work my firewalls with 2 DFE-570TX connect to an ASUS
CUR-DLS motherboard.
First of all DLINK says than each port needs its own IRQ.
That make's up to 8 IRQ and I only have 6 free.
Can it work with less than 8 IRQs ?

How are assigned this IRQs.
If I put a card on each end of my pci's slots I get the following:
Bus 1 IRQ 11,5,3 and 7
Bus 3 IRQ 15,9,9 and 9

If I put the cards on following pci slots I get the following:
Bus 1 IRQ 11,5,3 and 7
Bus 2 IRQ 10,7,5 and 3

If I put the cards on my active raiser card (1 pci connector -> 2 pci
slots) I get the following;
Bus 1 IRQ 11,5,3 and 7
Bus 2 IRQ 11,5,3 and 7

What are the thinks to do in order to make 2 cards work in one PC?
Does I have an hardware pb or a software pb ?
What's about IRQ sharing is this not possible ?

Thanks in advance
