Some way to utilize both my ethernet cards?

I'm running on an A7N8X DELUXE motherboard, which comes with both a nvidia and 3com ethernet port. Is there any way I could use both of them at the same time? (load balancing, etc.)

What does make you think it won't work?

I'm not sure what I get what you said, could you please be more specific?

KuRiOuS,

You need to build some kernel options for channel bonding. You will appear to only have one Ethernet port with a single IP address but both cards will belong to it.

I haven't done it, I'm happy with 100Mbit/sec and I don't know if you can use two different drivers in a 'bond'.

The kernel help will probably be able to clarify that.
