I thought Matthew took this off list. Matthew then forwarded his questions to the list. I now do so with my reply... For the record, I prefer to keep things on-list when possible.

There were hardware lists... >Is this possible with, say, 2 of the Intel Dual Port Server NICs? I think they just show up as 2 eepro100's. I've never actually had one to check, but the code for eepro.o will just go ahead and find all eepro100's (I've used multiple eepro100's in systems, just not the 2-on-a-card ones) in your system, and I assume they use two chips for two ports. The only problem is Intel's networking is a hodgepoge of first approximations and half-supported buyouts, so my guess is that the 2-port will work after a fashion, it may just be painful to see happen.
