Hi There, I would just make shure both network cards work, define a bridged interface that will bridge both NIC's together. The only thing you'll have to take care of is that instead of ethX you'll have brX. Use the bridge-utils for that purpose. Pretty easy to install - once you understood the logic behind it.
