I search why we can't have two ethernet interfaces(with different IP address

I know it's impossible but why?
It's not impossible. It's just often difficult to do it *right*.
Is it that useful? It'd boost reliability, but would it boost performance? If
you've got a card that can keep up with the wire, then you don't have any
bottlenecks that having two cards would solve.
