Ah, I feel much better now! Thanks for the explanation.
The information you want about putting two ethernet cards into the
machine and having them detected can be found in the kernel
documentation under /usr/src/linux/Documentation. I'd expect it to be
in the networking/ directory, but I'm not close to my Linux machine to
check. It's just a matter of creating kernel modules for the two nics
and passing a configuration line to LILO (it can be inserted into
/etc/lilo.conf after you're sure you've got everything right).
