No need to. On PCI interrupt-sharing works.

Just alias all three eth*'s to 3c90x in /etc/conf.modules, (or
/etc/modules.conf) or be lazy and use some tool like linuxconf to configure
them.

cat /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 3c90x
alias eth1 3c90x
alias eth2 3c90x

You can check wether you system see's all three of them with either lspci
(which interprets and formats nicely) or the ugly way with 'cat /proc/pci'

/sbin/lspci
