Um I'm getting slightly confused here: what I need is one card which has two
or more independant eth ports on it which can be assigned seperate IPs. I.e.
not IP aliasing - each eth port has only one IP address, but each eth port
must appear to linux as a seperate eth port, appearing in effect as if I have
4x single eth NICs in the box.

Is this possible with, say, 2 of the Intel Dual Port Server NICs?

Thanks for your help,
