I've got something weird I don't understand.
My box is a gateway with two NICs, an external and an internal.
Weird thing is that one of them (NE2000) shows up twice on bootup.
I wasn't successful configuring the ne1 interface, but when I
configured the ne2 interface things worked. Is this right? Both ne1
and ne2 have the same mac address. How can this be?
(I removed the IPs and mac addresses)
