If you mean you have a single pci slot on the motherboard, and you are using a single -> dual pci slot adapter….good luck. They only work with VIA boards because they require a special bios to handle the IRQ's.

yes that was exactly what i mean. are you sure it won,t work ? because it would be very nice to have two extra nic. and i mean that i use a risercard with two pci slots on it.

Just to check that I'm with you here, you're talking about something like this one, right?

Why not get a multi-port NIC?
