Manually assigning identical cards

Manually assigning identical cards

[Adam Luchjenbroers]

I have a computer thats going to be set up as a proxy server. It has 3 network 
cards in it (1x 3Com Etherlink III PCI, 2x 3Com Etherlink III ISA)

I need to know which interface is which, how might I manually assign them to 
eth0-2 even though they're all using the same driver?

OS is Smoothwall 2.0 Beta5 "Orient"

A good read on this is in the Ethernet-HOWTO, available
online in The Linux Documentation Project,  at:
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html>.

Specifically, you would be interested in Section 2.3
"Using More than one Ethernet Card per Machine" at:
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.3>

Also note that many distributions include these HOWTOs
(I don't know about yours... I've actually never heard
of Smoothwall).  Where to find it on your local machine
varies from distribution to distibution; in Slackware
(that I use) they are in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs.

Hope this helps,
