Interesting. I'd reviewed the docs (what few I could find) on the LRP,
and found them to be a bit behind Trinux in several areas (using ipfwadm
instead of ipchains, for example). I can always make a permanent
switch of hardware and have the Netgear NIC become eth0 (just have to
call myISP and tell them to set their DHCP server to look for the new
NIC card). Can anyone explain how to get an "eth1" running statically
then? Thanks again.
