[gentoo-user] a second and third network card: init.d/???

[gentoo-user] a second and third network card: init.d/???

[Alan E. Davis]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 508 bytes --]

I am trying to install a dlink atheros based wireless card (dwl g510). I am
stuck at the point of creating initscripts in /etc/init.d/.

I already linked /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to /etc/init.d/net.lo. I assume I need
to do something different with net.ath0, and I don't understand how to
create an initscript.

I will be using the wireless probably internally, but I wonder if I can use
bonding? Actually I have three nics including the wireless.

Can anyone point me to TFM on this subject?

Alan

Do the same for each network card (make symlink to net.lo) and 
adapt /etc/conf.d/net accordingly (read /etc/conf.d/net.example).

HTH...

Try.... /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt


That's all TFM that you will need.

In my experience (granted, i've not tried this with gentoo), bonding  
only works when both or all nics in the trunk are the same chipset,  
same driver.  I'd be astonished if you could bond the wireless nic  
with a wired one.  If the other two are the same chipset, you will  
have more luck, but remember that the network device (i.e. switch)  
into which they are plugged must also support bonding.

Thanks for the answers. I MIGHT have gotten wireless working: have to wait
until the router is working to find out. These answers help.

I set up a samba box bonding a built-in network interface and a PCI 
gigabit r8169.

They are different in speed and driver, are attached to different 
switches (of the same LAN) but everithing works as expected.
