I'm trying to set up a Gentoo Router / File Server / Firewall...
I've got multiple NIC's in the box (one for each port, to each room

cable modem. I connected it via USB and using the CDCEther driver
(as a module) I do see the following in my dmesg log... In my
/etc/conf.d/net I have all (eth0 to eth5) of my "cards" configured
to use DHCP (which the cable modem will need in the end). However,
eth5 is saying "can't start" or some other words for "I failed but
I'm not going to tell you why". I don't see anything in the logs
though... any ideas?
Thanks!
Get a hub/switch. Presently they are cheaper than 5 nics
I have a SMC hub, that allows you to plug a serial modem and a printer
(parallel connector) to it. Cups connects to it without a major problem,
though I haven't tried the modem (we have a cable connection). I replaced a
linksys with this one because of the network printer capabilities of the
SMC.
