I think that there is a problem somewhere in NIE because it doesn't
let you have two active links at the same time, and here, you will
need two.
However, the layer under NIE that handles ethernet (Lantern) very
probably can handle more than two cards at the same time (even if
they have the same driver). So it would just be about telling both
cards to work together.
Or just talk to one card and have the other one behave as your main
NIE interface.
This isn't at all an impossible programming task. Everything is
documented in the Lantern APIs doc.
Just like sending WOL or Pings (although sending Pings or WOL is much easier).
