Here's what works on my machine :
/boot/config-2.4.20-custom.2 :
CONFIG_TULIP=m
(I happen to have the driver as a module right now, it isn't
necessary though)
/etc/modutils/Local-dman :
alias eth0 tulip
options eth0 io=0xdc00 irq=9
alias eth1 tulip
options eth1 io=0xde00 irq=11
(I specify the IO and IRQ so that
1) I can control which card is eth0 and which is eth1
2) I can ensure that they use different IRQs (for performance)
)
/etc/network/interfaces :
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 129.21.148.216
netmask 255.255.255.128
gateway 129.21.148.254
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
# only try DHCP if there is a physical link
pre-up /usr/local/sbin/check-link.sh eth1
up echo 1 >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/rp_filter
up route del default gw 192.168.0.2
(The interfaces file is more-or-less correct. At one time I did
use both NICs in the machine, but right now it is only on one
network. Some of the clauses have changed due to changing
networks but the other is just commented out since it isn't being
used.)
HTH,
