Shouldn't be too difficult - just putting one network card on the first
subnet and the other on the second subnet should do, along with
appropriate routes for each subnet (off the top of my head, and probably
with incorrect syntax):

ifconfig 192.168.1.1 eth0
ifconfig 192.168.2.1 eth1

route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 eth0
route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 eth1
