Topic: Multiple (ie. more than two) ethernet card support

[Duncan]

I like how easily the ethernet cards set up, you've done a great job! What would be even better is if you could add support for additional ethernet cards... I have one for cable, one for 10 MBit Lan and another for 100MBit Lan, but to enable the third card I have to manually edit the /etc files, add the interface for the third card to all the services I use, configure ipchains routing... etc.

I don't know how many other people have more than two network cards in their server, are there other people out there who would find this useful?

i would also use a multiple nic feature

It would be a nice feature to segment two separate networks as well as allowing those with wireless NICs (802.11/a/b) an easy way to turn a single nic into a fully integrated access point/bridge.  Driver support for 802.11 FHSS Raytheon/Webgear, 802.11 DSSS Lucent Chipset, 802.11 DSSS Intersil Chipset cards would probably cover 99% of the wireless NICs out there.  Maybe a few Proxim Symphony and RangeLAN2 cards out there as well.

I am to get Wireless highspeed internet access at my home in the next week or so.

My home is wired 100Base-T to all the workstations and currently route to the internet through my e-Smith Server via dial-up.  I don't want to have to use a Windows machine to access the internet once I get highspeed access.

I would like to see WLAN card drivers added to the ethernet cards list.

Thank You!

You have made an excellent product - My Family Thanks You!
