Hello, I'm going to be putting another network card into my Gentoo box as soon as Comcast goes live with the highspeed internet. Right now I'm using:
Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX (rev 20) Subsystem: Netgear FA310TX I will be adding a 3Com 3C905-TX (Rev A) as the second network card. 1) Can I just follow the same instructions within the Intial Gentoo Install guide to get this Second card to work and, 2) Is there any recommendations (do's/don'ts) as to mixing or matching when using multiple network cards? I'm assuming Linux will take anything that you can plug into it just about.. :P 3) The network card connecting to the cable modem will negotiating at 10baseT-HD or 10Mb half-duplex. The other nic on the internal lan will be running at 100baseTX-HD. Are there any any foreseen horrors with this type of setup (specifically downloading and file transfers going from a 10Mb to 100Mb and vicea-versa) or is this a pretty common scenario?
