Hi Ronald,

If the problem is with the Ethernet adapter then having two fxp's will be
no problem. Assuming the fxp's are PCI based you will see fxp0 and fxp1 and
will assign each an IP address and use them accordingly...I do this will a
bunch of machines currently.

If you are using the newer version of the driver you should investigate
limiting the bandwith on the serial interface (eth0) as the later versions
do not support limiting on devices other then the ETINC adapters...
