Can I have both the network cards in the same n/w...? Becoz If I try to use both NIC's with the same n/w, running <$ route -n> we can see either eth1 or eth0 repeated twice. Pls let me know where is the problem..?
you don't need to do this. just add both IP addresses to the same NIC, viz ;
ip address add 192.168.0.254/24 dev eth0
ip address add 10.128.254.254/16 dev eth0
and proceed as usual. The subnet routes are added automatically.
