Well, I was planning on using it as a backup link: use eth0 as my
"normal" interface card, with a traffic shaper on it, firewalled etc.

If however, something goes wrong with either the firewall, or traffic
shaper, or so, I have to drive 60 miles to my server to correct things
on the console.

I was hoping on configuring that second nic as a "backup" nic ...
