Take a look a at http://www.dbd.com/~whitis/hardware/quartet.html which
is a nice web page on multiport ethernet adapters in Linux that used the
tulip.c driver

Subject: Multiport ethernet cards for Linux?
I've tried searching to almost no avail for multiport ethernet cards
that
can run under Linux. I'm trying to build a multiport masqurading
router/firewall to connect several company networks (20 or more) to the
Internet, but with these networks totally separated from each other. And
maby some of them to have real IP addreses to let traffic through from
the
outside.
I've found a dual port Tulip based card that works here, but that limits
the number of ports to 8 or so. I've seen 4 port cards (Adaptec I
guess),
that would hopefully give me 16 ports. I would really like an 8 port
card,
but that depends on the prize. I have to compare prize of ports and
prize
of machine to get the most valuable combination.
Does the IRQ sharing work reliably for more than two ethernet ports on
one
IRQ (thats what we have on the machine here and it works).
Limits? Caveats?
Best Regards
