Hello,

I am having some trouble installing two 100BaseT-capable ethernet network
cards on two different freeBSD machines and am wondering if there's
someone who can help.

To instals an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 card on machine#1, I am replacing
every instance of "ep0" (3Com 3C509) in the following lines with "fxp0":

	network_interfaces="ep0 lo0"
	ifconfig_ep0="inet 198.202.70.9  netmask 255.255.255.0"

For installing the 3Com 3c595 Etherlink card on machine#2, I am replacing
every instance of "ep0" above with "vx0".

However, upon booting the cards are not recognized. I was given these
driver IDs by a colleague and do not see them listed in the FreeBSD
documentation. Does anyone have experience with using these cards?
I'd appreciate any comments that might lead to a solution.

Thanks,
