Since the code is compiled in the kernel, it shouldnt have to load any other mods or anything. I have always had better luck using two different kinds of nics for this, but I know it will work using the same nics. Heck I have seen a box that has 5 nics in it (all the same) On Wed, 14 Jun 2000, Mark B Withers wrote:
Hello everybody!
I'm trying to set-up multiple network cards to work under S.u.S.E. 6.1.
I had to re-compile my kernel in order to use my machine as a gateway/firewall and wish to enable bridging between the two nic's. They are both 3 Com 509's, but for some reason the kernel will only recognise one under the new "experimental (to me)" kernel 2.2.16.
My original kernel (2.2.5) will recognise both nics and seems to use modules for the driver. On the newer kernel I loaded the nic driver as a builtin and therefore there is no module.
Should I recompile the kernel and use modules for the nic cards instead?
Thanks for listening!
