Re: how to build a bridge using a linux system?

["Jasmeet S. Virdi" <virdi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have a mandrake 8 box , (i belive better than redhat 7.1)
and two compex cards, i even tried with one compex and one dlink card,  and
one compex and one NE2000 compatible
it detects both and installs both (in both the cases), but after the first
boot , it only detects one and under no circumstances is it ready to
recognise the other...
the main problem is getting the other card detected at boot time, though
after booting netconf shows me both the cards with the IP's that i have
given them... i tried using boot time parameters but of no use ...

its is celeron 333 Mhz,  32 MB Ram machine, and i cudn't think of a better
use...


ignorance is bliss : u know that u donot know
