Hello, I'm lost trying to install a D-Link DGE-550SX additionally to my existing network card. I have done the following:
1) add the appropriate 'dl2k' driver to /etc/modules. 2) add this to /etc/network/interfaces: allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp After a reboot dmesg|grep eth delivers this: sda:<6>eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM5751PKFBG) rev 4001 PHY(5750)] (PCI Express) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:13:72:26:cd:89 eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[1] MIirq[1] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1] eth0: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit] eth1: D-Link DGE-550SX Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, 00:13:46:66:48:6f, IRQ 50 tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX. eth1: no IPv6 routers present eth0: no IPv6 routers present bridge-eth0: enabling the bridge bridge-eth0: up bridge-eth0: already up bridge-eth0: attached eth1: no IPv6 routers present bridge-eth0: disabling the bridge bridge-eth0: down ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready bridge-eth0: enabling the bridge bridge-eth0: up tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
