[gentoo-user] How to add a network card

[Michael Gruetzner]

Hi,

I just put a second network card into my box. If I use ifconfig to
bring up eth1 everything works fine. So I added eth1 to
'/etc/conf.d/net', but there is no start script to bring up eth1 at
boot time. How do I get such a script(like /etc/init.d/net.eth1)?

Thanks in advance.

MfG
Michael

just link net.eth1 to net.eth0
$ ln -s net.eth0 net.eth1
then add it to your choosen runlevels
$ rc-update add net.eth1 default
and finally configure your card in /etc/conf.d/net
$ $EDITOR /etc/conf.d/net
finally don't forget to autoload the driver if it's not the same as your first 
card.
