I've been using an old box for almost 4 years as a LRP box, upgraded over
time to it's current Bering uLibc 2.0. I need to go slightly OT for a few
paragraphs before I venter back on topic.
I am in need of setting up a DMZ, so I plopped in another CS8900 card I
have laying around next to the two that are working perfectly. It seems
like this old Gateway box doesn't have enough interrupts available,
because I just can't get eth2 to come up. Strange, since there are plenty
of ISA slots... First, am I interpreting /proc/interrupts correctly:
more /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 338352 XT-PIC timer
1: 246 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
8: 0 XT-PIC rtc
10: 87207 XT-PIC eth0
11: 90819 XT-PIC eth1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
eth2, which I set to interrupt 12 in the card's config utility, is nowhere
to be seen. If I switch it to int 5, I am able to see eth2 (int 5) but
eth1 (int 11) drops off the list. That's why I think there aren't enough
interrupts.
So, assuming that is correct, is there any way to set up a DMZ using only
2 interfaces? If not, I guess I need to scrape up some new hardware.
Unless I can figure out a way for it to give up that keyboard interrupt
that I don't need...
Thank you for listening to my ramblings, hopefully someone out there will
have a good suggestion.
