slackware and network cards
 

Hello all. I just installed Slackware 9.1 and during the setup it only detected one of my network cards. I have two installed. I want to set up internet connection sharing and I can't until I get the other card configured. It called the card eth1.
here are some paramaters

take a look at your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file, the commentary in the file should guide you for what to put where for the second card.

edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

you will want to add a line:
ifconfig ethX ipaddress netmask mask
example:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.9 netmask 255.255.255.0
or for dhcp do:
dhcpcd -t 10 -d ethX

in slack 9.1 they changed the boot up scripts ... you dont edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 anymore.

now you need to look at /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

but your problem is that the second card isnt loading just add the module to /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice and put its settings(ip dns ...) in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
