I think, the complexity of 2+ Network cards is, that you can do so many
things on it. I have used 2 Card as router into a company network. So I
have no chance to setup any Workstation on this network. Therefore I setup
it with masqurading. This has been as simple as:

-----

# 3-Com PCI card
insmod 3c59x.o

# old ne2000 ISA card
insmod 8390.o
insmod ne.o io=0x340 irq=11

#---- (done with normal mulinux setup)
ifconfig eth0 ......
route add -net .... eth0

#---- for my private net (sample addr)
ifconfig eth1 192.168.200.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net 192.168.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1
#---- masq
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.200.0/255.255.255.0

-------

So far this simple sample ...

AFAIK, if you want it to setup as 'real' router, the config of the
mulinunx
workstation is more simple, but all others have to get a gateway route to
address your machine, when ever they want to access someone behind.

BTW: I found in some doc file, that 2 ne cards are set by:
                insmod io=0x300,0x320 irq=10,11
     but never tested it (may be I do so next time)
