Wlan and nic both used for network traffic??

[hedgefund]

Is there a way to force the networking to use both the wlan and nic card to increase the through put to a
wireless router? At boot both of the interfaces connect to the same router and both are allocated IP addys, yet it appears that the wlan is actually the connection that is being used by the system. Would like to configure the network interfaces to work together.

Wlan Broadcom BCM43XX >wlan0

When I saw that both interfaces had obtained an IP addy, I thought hmmm lets use both..:)

What you are trying to achieve sounds like interface bonding. Check out /usr/share/doc/iputils-20020927/README.bonding, I've attached a copy in case you don't have it.

Zackly what I was looking for!! However, I couldn't get it to work properly. So, I've thrown in another nic card to see if it will work with the eth0 and eth1 aliases.

Thanks for the heads up fsck!! Really appreciate it.
