The machine does have two nics and looking again at ifconfig -a it shows different MAC and interrupt for each: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:f4:b5:29:41 inet addr:192.168.1.54 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [...] Interrupt:19 Base address:0x6f00 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:09:ee:6c:04 inet addr:192.168.1.42 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:9ff:feee:6c04/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [...] Interrupt:9 Base address:0xce0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
