Re: Multiple ethernet cards in 1 machine

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are going to use mutliple cards, and use one as a spare, just
remember not to use the burnt in NIC address of the card, create your
own address.  This way, you can move that address to the other card when
the primary fails.
