For now, there are two options -- (a) use the bridge code that's on the multiport card (there's at least one which does this, but don't ask me which one...), or (b) use the card as a bunch of separate interfaces, and route between them.
Anyway, this is really a topic for linux-net. -- I don't want to bore you, but there's nobody else around for me to bore. -- Matthias Urlichs \ noris network GmbH / Xlink-POP Nürnberg Schleiermacherstraße 12 \ Linux+Internet / EMail: urlichs@noris.de 90491 Nürnberg (Germany) \ Consulting+Programming+Networking+etc'ing PGP: 1024/4F578875 1B 89 E2 1C 43 EA 80 44 15 D2 29 CF C6 C7 E0 DE Click <A HREF="http://info.noris.de/~smurf/finger">here</A>. 42
