[plug] 2nd NIC not loading

[Jon Miller]

Like to know where and how do I get the 2nd NIC in a Debian server to load the module at bootup.  It's a e100.o driver for the Intel Ethernet Card and it does not load automatically.  I have to issue a insmod command to load the module and then the commands to load eth1 and the default gateway.

Also I want to make 192.168.100.1 the default gateway for the server as this point to the router interface.

I have the configuration for the /etc/network/interface

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.99
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.100.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.100.1
