Re: Can't get seconf NIC to work



did u try to compile the NIC driver static into the kernel, i got 2
machines that use tulip(although on 2.0.36) and i try to avoid modules at
all costs. the only thing that get modularized for me are stuff thats 3rd
party and not included w/the kernel.  if its a server, there are modules
out there that help maintain root access for an attacker and cloak his
activities.  so it's good practice not to use modules unless you really
need em. (with ethernet is there any reason you'd unload the driver? i
have never had a reason to).  also 2.2.9 isnt the best kernel i had probs
with it, 2.2.10 is great though. 2.2.11-.12 aren't too good(memory leaks,
other minor bugs due to backported fixes in .11 2.2.13 not sure about
havent tried it yet)

as for the route, the route command isn't needed for 2.2 it will
automatically add it for you(you can add it anways with that command u
gave).  i see the route command for u failed, did you have a eth1
interface at the time you issued it?
