MediaOne and Linux (yet again)

[warlord at mit.edu (Derek Atkins)]

Are you sure that the two ethernet cards are on different IRQs and
IOs?  This is generally the problem.

Linux works fine with multiple ethernets.  Also, just remember that
MediaOne only gives you one IP address, so you need to use Linux IP
Masquerade for the internal network.
