Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Slighty confused about net connections

Hi James,

...got it running!

I really need two usb devices *usb0 and usb1), each
for one Arietta board.

I got NAT runnig for the Arietta before (need that for updateing
Gentoo 8)) with one board. I did the same on the other one and it works.

I assigned different MACs (and checked that) via /etc/conf.d/net
before. Two devices with the same MAC can cause some "weird results"
;)

Thanks for the Link, James! :)
Will read that!

Best regards,
Meino





updateing Gentoo 8)
