I'm looking to add a second Ethernet interface to my FC3 system. The
interface is going to be used strictly as a capture interface for
ethereal and as such has no need for an IP address..
The questions are:
1) How do I force the existing Ethernet interface (built onto the
motherboard), which shows up as a via-rhine to remain as eth0 and the
new interface which will be an Intel card as eth1
2) enable the card without any addressing (IP or otherwise) so the card
remains silent?
3) will this process work for adding multiple additional interfaces, and
is there a limit to network interfaces besides physical space for cards?
TIA
Jeff
