Description Chaim Feinbein 2004-01-18 01:46:56 UTC
With "ln -s net.eth0 net.eth1" command, a system can't load a second network interface (usually eth1) while a boot, because net.eth1 is a link to the net.eth0.
A warning is displayed at the end of the boot (something like this):"eth0 interface is already loaded".
It should be changed to the command "cp net.eth0 net.eth1".
I've tried it on my gateway machine already, and it works.
