Hi all,
Just wanted to ask if any of you guys/gals know the maximum number of NICs
supported in Linux?
Can it support more than 4?
Thanks!

i remember 4(or 8) was the previous limitation. now i am positive it's at
least 16, and maybe more. all damn docs i read before the kernel came out
highlighted this, plus the additional ide intefaces supported, among
others, but they're damned hard to find now. 2.4 = at least 16 nics.
you're all set.
