The easy way to identify the ports is to use a switch and connect one = cable from the switch to one port. Then run =E2=80=9Cifconfig=E2=80=9D = and see which port is =E2=80=9CUP=E2=80=9D. Then label the jack. Move = on to the next and so forth. >=20 > This machine came with two built in networking interfaces & sockets = (RJ45) > that were not supported by FreeBSD at the time.

The same procedure above should resolve this also.
