Good question! Actually, the DSL connection is used for some simple file
sharing via FTP; since the DSL doesn't have a quota and the cable does,
that's the interface to use! :-) The 'cable' side is normally strictly
used when I want to share files with the two or three PCs on the cable
modem network.
I compiled a kernel with both 3c90x and tulip in it, and without
sound/usb/etc (in case something's trying to share IRQ's), pulled the
3com/eth1 info out of .../interfaces and rebooted. DSL came up, all worked
great. Then added static info for the cable side (just plugged in the data
that DHCP had been using) and brought it up; immediately neither
connection would accept incoming FTP, and bringing down eth1 didn't
correct anything...
I'm wondering if pump/dhcpcd is screwing with things, even though I'm
using static IPs. May uninstall all the DHCP client stuff, make sure the
statics are defined, then retry...
