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.)
