What can you do with a second Ethernet port?
Tue, 06 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT
Purchase a new PC or motherboard soon, and the chances are good that it will come with two built-in network interfaces -- either two Ethernet jacks or one Ethernet and one Wi-Fi. Tossing in a second adapter is an inexpensive way for the manufacturer to add another bullet point to the product description -- but what exactly are you supposed to
do with it? If you are running Linux, you have several alternatives.
