adding eth1
Debian Folks
I have a next question.
I wandered through the manpages and internet for a few hours but can't
seem to find a satisfactory answer for this one.
I have an up and running IBM PC with Debian kernel 2.2.19 at the moment.
It has one NIC (rtl8139) which works fine.
I want to add a second identical card (eth1) but I am a bit confused how
to configure it.
Is modifying /etc/interfaces and /etc/ifstate sufficient? Where do I
tell the system what IRQ to use. And does that have to be another IRQ as
eth0? Or can they share it?
Or do I have to compile a new kernel? Or is there a config tool for it,
like gpmconfig for the mouse?
I try to find out what to expect before trying it, so I have no
experiance yet.
Thanks for all your help again ;-).
Frank.
