Hi Fabian, Thanks, your instructions are extremely clear. Which makes it all the stranger that I am having trouble. The loading seems to function without complaint. E.g. after the operation I can do a ifconfig to see for example eth1 as the normal interface and do an rtifconfig to see rteth0. Everything seems happy.
But when I try to USE the interfaces they don;t work. E.g. on the normal interface the pinging works but I don;t get any response from a host which is certainly alove and gives response if I do not also have a rtNIC loaded. And EML when using rtnet gets a socket but also seems to gets no response from the physical bus. Below is the loading script. I have three NICS two are on the same board (e1000) and one is on a separate PCI card (realtek). The below should function but does not. Of course there is a chance that I connect to the incorrect NICS but extensive musical chairs has not given much joy either. :) Anything I am doing obviously wrong? Thanks for the time.
