Second ethernet card

["Christopher J. Morrone" <morrone@idaho.capsl.udel.edu>]

I was wondering where I should set up the configuration for my second
ethernet card.  I have two ethernet cards, both PCI and Tulip chipset,
which are currently detected just fine during bootup.

I set up the ethernet networking like normal during the Debian
installation, and it works fine.  What I want to do now is enable the
second ethernet card.  (This computer is essentially node 0 for a beowulf,
and the other nodes do not need to access the outside world, so I don't
believe that I need any type of ip forwarding.)

So I basically just want to know where I should put my custom
configuration for the second ethernet card.  Should I just add it to the
/etc/init.d/network file?  Or is there a better place to put the
configuration?

Thanks!  (Please Cc the response to me, I was knocked off the debian-user
list because our server was bouncing too many messages.)
