[ale] Two NIC cards

[David Brooks]

# ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

you may need to make a script in /etc/rc.d (?) or whatever dirctory contains
your initialization scripts in order to set that card's IP on boot.  Easy as
this:

---------- 8< snip snip >8 ----------

# /etc/rc.d/rc.eth1
#
# Sets the network information on the eth1 interface

echo "Setting up eth1:"
ifconfig eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx broadcast
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
echo "Done."

# end

---------- 8< snip snip >8 ----------


then put a line in /etc/rc.local at the bottom somewhere to call the newly
made rc.eth1, should be: '/etc/rc.d/rc.eth1'

That should do the trick.
