I know there was a problem reported on the kernel mailing list that the
EQL driver was broken but I can not remember the version of the kernel
that this was referenced to. The person that noted the trouble was able to
hack the driver to get it working again but last I heard the hack was one
of those "ugly but works" kind of things.
ALso, maybe I am misunderstanding you but I thought that eql was only
designed for serial devices. Also note that both network interfaces need
the same IP address. In other words, if you have two dialup connections,
they both need to be the SAME IP Address for EQL to work.
You might want to search the kernel mailing list archive for some details.
