One is gigabit and needs to be eth0, and connected to the lan. The other to the wan. It's just the way we do things here. As far as modules that's an idea, whoever won't work here, I don't enable modules at all for server kernels... I betchya there's a kernel paramater that you can shove into the bootloader to have passed on, just not sure what it is :) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
