Maybe a better idea would to find a way for the kernel to auto-probe
for the additional cards????? Slackware does tell you to read the
how-to files in most of the documentation. Maybe the people find it
easier to write here than to read the documents.
I have found that if you really do read the How-to's they are very
informative.
If I get some time I'll look into auto-probing for multiple cards
I feel this would be a great addition to have.
