I'm running Slackware 8 on my laptop and have two PCMCIA NICs - one I use at work and one I use at home. I assign a static IP at home and we use DHCP at work. I thought I'd be able to assign an alias of eth0 to one and eth1 to another to allow for the two configs, but the thing is, they both use the pcnet_cs driver. One is a Linksys card and one is an SMC, however. Is there a way to assign different aliases based on a criterion other than driver? Even when only one card is inserted at a time?

Thanks in advance,

You might take a look at something like GCardScheme (http://freshmeat.net/projects/gcardscheme/?topic_id=58) It might do what you're looking for.

Thanks. This may be a suitable workaround. And maybe I'll just ditch the idea of two cards. I appreciate the help.
