I had problem with my 2 NIC stepping on each other's IRQs. I fixed the problem by doing two things. I went into the bios setup and disabled sio1 and sio2 to release their irqs and also turned off the bios plug-n-play option. My motherboard also had an option for type of operating system was to run, I selected non-windows option. Then I moved the NIC cards around in different slots on the mother board until the boot bios summary screen showed me each NIC had its own IRQ. Worked for me. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of gahn Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 11:29 AM To: freebsd general questions Subject: shared irqs and freebsd Hi: How goes FreeBSD deal with shared irqs? Looks like FreeBSD could only work with two nic's (the same exact type). I am running 5.4 and trying to install three or four cards (the same exact type) in one machine.
