I've just connected another isolan card to my machine but I can't get
packets passed between them. I can use both cards simultaneously so I
think the driver's ok (it's not the one that comes with 0.1, that won't
support two cards but I've done some work on it since then) and I've
recompiled the kernel with option gateway. Is there something else I
should have done??

I've got one connected to the internet and the other connected to some
suns which are diskless and die when directly connected to the internet.
I can access both the suns and the internet from the gateway machine,
using both the cards, but I can't access the internet from my suns and I
can't access my suns from the internet. Sounds like packets aren't
getting passed between the cards to me.

Do I need to solve some routing problem or something? 

Another problem I have is that I keep getting unknown router errors from
the routed. Anyone know what causes this?
