I have two interfaces on my linux PC in the same network:

Can you explain in detail *why* you want to do this? It is generally considered a Very Bad Idea [tm]. Perhaps we can help you find a better way to fulfill your requirements. Do you need more bandwidth? Do you just need that computer to have two IP addresses? What is it that you are trying to accomplish?

In a switched network you can provide more overall throughput  to a server by locking clients
to one interface or another. I've seen this used on NFS servers quite effectively.

My concern is not for overall throughtput, but for my application in real life it needs two interfaces (one is ethernet, the other one is
wireless) work in the same network. Thus, both wired/wireless clients
can access my linux device.


Thanks :)
