Hello all,
I'm working with two D5013B HP nic cards and I try to work with ALB (Adapter
Load Balancing) functionality offered by iANS Intel Utility. I use for this
purpose the Intel driver e100 version 1.6.6 and the iANS utility version
1.3.06. I work with Linux RH 7.0 kernel 2.2.16.
For trying to do ALB I unload default eepro100 module and I load modules
e100 and ians. I follow exactly all instruction to create configuration and
all seems to work without errors. I set one virtual lan and I configure this
with ifconfig. When I try to ping the virtual lan from another PC the
virtual lan don't answer. I cannot ping also from the virtual lan another
card but I can ping themself.
In the routing table the virtual lan is present.
system work with 2 nics when I use e100 drivers without iANS.
Somebody know what can I do to ping out of the box? I nothing change in the
modules.conf. Must I insert aliases?
Must I define other routing roules? Must I install another kernel version?

Thank you very much for your help.
