Last night I tried the:
loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1 ro
There was no success there but I'm a little confused in that I
thought that you just told the kernel that the second card was there
and then it would look for it. Most of the time I have been
compiling the drivers into the kernel but I haven't gotten to it yet
on this machine. Does that mean that you need to take the approach
that I was going tward if the driver is compiled in and the other
approach if the driver is a module? It would be nice it one approach
would work in both cases so that if I changed from one method to the
other that I wouldn't have to change things in several places to make
the cards work. Would it possibly be better to go to say ne2000
cards, (which I have around) if there is a problem in probing the
3c509 cards? Or possibly having one ne2000 and one 3c509?
The point to this, by the way, is to set up a machine between a
DMZ (attached to a cisco router) and the rest of our network. It
will initially just route then probably get filtering added and
finally (if the boss wasnts it) get a proxyserver. Right now there
is a different machine doing kind of a strange thing, by having an
alias address on the single network card. Both the DMZ and
the main network are on the same ethernet cable but everything routes
via this one card. The addresses on the card are on different
subnets and the machines on these subnets have it set as their
gateway. Strange but it works for now.
