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.
