I have an two old 486 based machines, = two ethernet=20 cards and am trying to build a router/gateway.

Both the NICs are 3Com 3C509 Etherlink = III=20 cards.

One, the newer one works fine with = FreeBSD,=20 recognised etc and happily runs away with no help.

The other - 3Com Etherlink III 3C509 = Assy 8362-11=20 Rev B does not work at all with FBSD but is OK with Win95.

Is the older card simply not supported? = It uses a=20 transciever LANart Model ETT1101 Dip 123 are up 4 is down (default = setting)=20 would this be a problem?

If I can't use the older card can I = install a=20 second NIC the same as the newer one and have FBSD recognise the second = card=20 imediately as ed1? If not am I better off going for a second NIC = from a=20 different manufacturer and using a different driver?

Thanks in advance,

Mik
