I've got an older Dell Latitude (CPi) laptop that I'm trying to setup as a router/firewall/??? machine. I'm using 5.1-R with a compiled kernel that I'm slowly reducing to the minimum I need.
I decided to try using usb ethernet adapters since they seemed so easy. However, the laptop only has one usb port. So, I picked up a cheap 4 port hub so I could connect my two adapters (both netgear FA120 devices). The boot log shows that both devices are recognized. However, only one gets configured properly (it gets an address and actually works). The other adapter can't be configured (at boot time or on the command line). This is whether the devices are plugged in before booting or after. If I try to remove either of them after booting I usually get a kernel panic and a reboot. Am I trying to do something that can't be done (do I need two physical ports on the machine for this to work)? Is this merely a bug in 5.1 that would be fixed if I go to 'CURRENT'? Does anyone have any comments? For completeness I'm appending the relevant lines from my config. Any help would be appreciated.
