What you need to do is to create a bridge.

First check that your kernel config includes support for bridging:
cat /boot/config|grep -i bridge should return (CONFIG_BRIDGE=m or y )

Next, install the bridge-utils package: urpmi bridge-utils

Then create the bridge using the program brgctl from the bridge-utils
package: 'brctl addbr name' where name can be anything you like.

Then add the two interfaces to the bridge:
'brctl addif name eth0'
'brctl addif name eth1'

The bridge interfaces should have no ip address:
'ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0'
'ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0'

You can then assign an ip address to the bridge for management:
'ifconfig name IP Address'

Let me know if this setup works for you. If it does, create a small
script to execute on startup that creates the bridge for you every boot.

Kind regards,

John...

[newbie] Routing question

I have a routing question.

 I need to be able to relay information transparently from one network card to
 another.  I have wireless equipment
 that connects to an ethernet card, however it can only communicate with that
 card.  I need to be able to connect
 the wireless radio to one network card in a mandrake box, and a cat 5 cable to
 a nic in the same box.  I need the information to pass transparently from one
 card to the other (prefer with the same ip subnet)

 example

 these 2 cards installed on the same machine
 eth0   192.168.0.10
 eth1   192.168.0.20

 all information that comes in on eth0 is relayed to eth1 and
 all information that comes in on eth1 is relayed to eth0

 Any help will be appreciated.  Is this possible?

 Thank you in advance for your help
