Dual port network cards

Hello,

I have an Intel and a Compaq (with IBM & TLAN chips)
dual port
cards that I would like to use to build a split access
system. 
Does anyone have experience with these cards? I am thinking
of 
the following configuration:

    isp1 eth0 -+----+- local eth2
               |    |
    isp2 eth1 -+----+- dmz  eth3

What are the drivers for these and how do we list them in
the
/etc/modules so that both the ports on a card are
identified.

Thanks for your input

You have to identify the chipset to know which driver you
need...
If you just list the driver in /etc/modules, the driver will
identify all
ports on the card.

Thanks Eric for your response.

I am using the latest release (Bering-uClibc_3.0-rc1) and as
it
turnes out, that it is fairly easy to have the duals ports
setup.
All that I had to do is identify the drive and list it in
the
/etc/modules file and the system recognized all the ports.

My next step is to configure these for multi-isp and I am
trying
to use /etc/shorewall/providers file. I am getting the
following
error:

iptables: Unknown error -1
ERROR: Command "/sbin/iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING
-m connmark 
             ! --mark 0xFF -j CONNMARK --restore-mark --mask
0xFF" Failed

I have a feeling that either there is a misconfuration of
the shorewall
or the packaged shorewall (with bering-uclibc) does not
support the
above aspect. Any comments or help on what I could be doing
wrong?

Thanks

The base distro only contains the most common netfilter
modules. What you
need are the connmark modules which can be found in the
kernelmodules
tarball and copied to /lib/modules/ on the leaf system.
The module names are ipt_connmark.o and/or ipt_CONNMARK.o

Thanks Eric, those two modules did the trick. I copied them
over
and did an insmod and then did shorewall restart and the
error message 
has gone away.

What is the best way to load these modules into the kernel
during
the boot time. I tried to list them in /etc/modules, but
they didn't
get loaded.

Thanks

I just want to update. I changed the order of listing the
above modules
in /etc/modules, ie instead of listing them at the begining
of the
netfilter modules, listed them at the end and they got
loaded.

Thanks

You should list them below the other netfilter modules in
/etc/modules,
that should be enough to get them loaded during boottime.

I just replied to the previous mail before reading this one.
Glad you 
got it working.
