anyone have tried to install two GREEN card under IPcop ? im not sure to understand whats a ORANGE card, ... but what i need to do, is to output two network card to two hub. i think it could be easier to link the hubs together and my hubs dont have this feature. so i need to link it by a PC. so ? does IPCop can have on red card and two green card ?
