Remove IP addresses from NIC's. Then create and set ethernet bridge to automatically get an IP address via DHCP (or a similar configuration) in order to enable bridging and making the bridge act as a single NIC.

• sudo ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
• sudo ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
• sudo brctl addbr mybridge
• sudo brctl addif mybridge eth0
• sudo brctl addif mybridge eth1
• sudo brctl stp mybridge on
• sudo dhclient mybridge

In case you need to renew your ip: (also useful when it comes to ordinary NIC's like eth0 / eth1).

sudo dhclient mybridge -r

sudo dhclient mybridge

And as always - Remember - Man is your best friend!
