Slackware 13.1 can't configure two network cards

Hello everybody,

I'm having troubles with Slackware 13.1 and network cards.

I have one on-board Ethernet card (which is recognized and works okay) and a PCI Ethernet card (which is also recognized, but doesn't appear in 'ifconfig -a'). If i run a 'lspci', i can see the kernel recognized the two cards:
Code:
01:02.0 Ethernet controller: Honeywell IAC Device 0139 (rev 10)
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev 01)

But, when i run ifconfig, i only can see the Intel on-board card as eth0.
I remember that slackware 12.0, 12.1 and even 12.2 automatically recognized and configured the network cards, but this version seems to work different.

Could someone help me to configure them? I'm loosing my head trying to figure out what's wrong with the system...
Thanks in advance.

My /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf looks like the following:
Code:
# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

# Config information for eth1:
IPADDR[1]=""
NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""
...

DEBUG_ETH_UP="yes"

When i run 'dmesg' it outputs the following:
Code:
root@host:~# dmesg |grep eth
e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xff8ff000, irq 20, MAC addr 00:0c:f1:af:24:65
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
eth0: no IPv6 routers present

Please, help!

aoe-stat(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       aoe-stat(8)

NAME
aoe-stat - print aoe device status report SYNOPSIS
modprobe aoe aoe-stat env sysfs_dir=/sys aoe-stat DESCRIPTION
The aoe-stat script collects information on ATA over Ethernet devices from sysfs. For each AoE device the kernel has discovered, there is one row in the script's output. Each row has the following columns. devicename The device name is of the form eX.Y, with X being the AoE device shelf address, and Y being the AoE slot address. size The size of the AoE device is in gigabytes (billions of bytes). ifname The network interface name is printed in the third column. payload The number of bytes read from or written to the storage target in each AoE packet appears in the fourth column, unless the aoe driver does not export this information. status The device status is in the last column. Possible values are up, down, and down,closewait. The "up" status means the aoe driver considers this device ready for I/O. The "down" status means the opposite. The "down,closewait" status means that some software still has the device open, and when this straggler closes the device, it will enter the "down" state. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
If the sysfs_dir variable is set in the environment, it will override the default location where aoe-stat will look for sysfs, namely /sys. WARNINGS
If the minor device number of a device node does not match that of its namesake, aoe-stat will print a warning as shown below. nai:~# aoe-stat e0.3 0.104GB eth0 up e0.4 4398.046GB eth0 up e20.0 1000.215GB eth0 up e42.0 2000.431GB eth0 up aoe-stat Warning: device node /dev/etherd/e45.1 has wrong minor device number e45.1 1152.874GB eth0 up Using such a device node is dangerous, because its name doesn't match the actual device that you would be reading from and writing to. Such a broken device node should be removed. Device nodes are created by udev or (on systems without udev) by aoe-mkdevs. EXAMPLE
In this example, the root user on a host named nai loads the aoe driver module and then prints a list of all the available aoe devices. Then he remembers to bring up the storage network interfaces, does an AoE discovery, and prints the list again. This time the list shows all the devices in shelf seven. nai:~# modprobe aoe nai:~# aoe-stat nai:~# ifconfig eth3 up nai:~# aoe-discover nai:~# aoe-stat e0.0 10995.116GB eth0 up e0.1 10995.116GB eth0 up e0.2 10995.116GB eth0 up e1.0 1152.874GB eth0 up e7.0 370.566GB eth0 up nai:~# SEE ALSO
