Well you will certainly run into problems here, 

as for one the NIC's all have different MAC Addresses 

like :
eth0      Protocol:Ethernet  Hardware Address 00:00:CB:62:8B:E7  

eth1      Protocol:Ethernet  Hardware Address 00:00:CB:70:4A:B1  

So your ISP will allow only one to get trough, unless you have a router
that is connected to the net. 

Normally one NIC is used to connect to the net, the other could for a
small LAN. 

Why would one to use two cards at the same time to connect to the
Internet? 

Am I reading your post wrong? 

just wondering :-)

The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)
