[vortex] two NICs in a riser card?

[Martin Siegert]

Hi,

this may be a stupid question:

is it possible to have two NICs in a riser card?

I have two 3c905cx-txm cards plugged into a riser card, which in turn
plugs into a single PCI slot on the motherboard.

When the box boots only one of the two cards is recogniced.

Can this be done or do I have to purchase a dual port NIC?

Thanks for your advice/comments!

Regards,
Martin
