I have a test server I am setting up the has 4 nics installed. 2 are onboard Intel using the e1000 driver. 2 are addons and are using the r8169 driver. The problem is that only 1 of the 2 r8169's succesfully loads on boot. See the following truncated dmesg output:
I guess this is a bug with the driver? And if so is there a different kernel I could try out that might fix my problem?
Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice for me.
