I was slightly confused by Christopher's mail, so could you please
clarify exactly what you want:

1. Two network interfaces both connected to the same network.  In this
case, it is as Priyadarsan has said, only one of them can act as default.
2. Use your machine as a kind of router between both interfaces.
3. Be able to access two networks, one through each interface, whilst
only one of them will be you default gateway (such as the network /
router you must go through to acces web pages, for example).

Cheers,
