All the interfaces will come up with the same MAC address, though, so if they need to be unique you'll have to use the 'ether' option to ifconfig to set one. I've had some odd problems with multiple hme devices though, as if hme doesn't handle interrupts shared for multiple interfaces or something. I haven't yet come up with a good test, though. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
