The answer is actually in the NET-3-HOWTO. :-) You need to use
ifconfig to configure each of your ethernet adapters. Here's a quote
from the HOWTO:
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
5.4. Configuring a network interface.
When you have all of the programs you need and your address and
network information you can configure your network interfaces. When we
talk about configuring a network interface we are talking about the
process of assigning appropriate addresses to a network device and to
setting appropriate values for other configurable paramaters of a
network device. The program most commonly used to do this is the
ifconfig (interface configure) command.
Typically you would use a command similar to the following:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
In this case I'm configuring an ethernet interface `eth0' with the IP
address `192.168.0.1' and a network mask of `255.255.255.0'. The `up'
that trails the command tells the interface that it should become
active.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
When you want to define the other NIC you need to specify 'eth1'.
Hope this helps. :-)
