hello,
I am running fedora 4
2.6.15-1.1830_FC4smp

I am having problems adding a second RTL-8169 G GB Nic card

when the system boots it says "can not change name of eth2 to eth1 file exists

does not even try to install load eth2

on the ifconfig -a (see below) there is a device dev5036   . Not sure
what that is

Thanks for any help

cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth1 r8169
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias eth0 8139too
