Well you will certainly run into problems here,
as for one the NIC's all have different MAC Addresses
like :
eth0 Protocol:Ethernet Hardware Address 00:00:CB:62:8B:E7
eth1 Protocol:Ethernet Hardware Address 00:00:CB:70:4A:B1
So your ISP will allow only one to get trough, unless you have a router
that is connected to the net.
Normally one NIC is used to connect to the net, the other could for a
small LAN.
Why would one to use two cards at the same time to connect to the
Internet?
Am I reading your post wrong?
just wondering :-)
