Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 10:15:37 +0100 Organization: Network Operations - Tyfon Internet Services X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet-e-post/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Return-Path: dl@tyfon.net Reply-To: dl@tyfon.net Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a few questions regarding multiport network interfaces. Does, let's say a 4 port nic occupy 4 irqs as in four seperate cards or does the multiport card share one irq? Second which type of card is most suitable for FreeBSD running as a firewalling router? Comments and suggestions most welcome! Regards ------------ Dan Larsson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
