Then you should edit /etc/rc.conf and set there to use the new NIC instead of the old one. The other option is to use sysinstall program to set this, but I preffer the manual interaction. If you have customized firewall you might also set it in the firewall config.

Hello there, At my work, I have a Dell PowerEdge2950 running FreeBSD 7.0, Webserver. This server has onboard Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T with 2 ports. But we have faced watchdog timeouts and after googling and getting help on this great forum, we were able to figure out that this is Broadcom incompatibilty. So, we have bought Intel Pro 1000PT Single Port Gigabit PCIe Cu now. Which I am going to install in the server but before; I need some information, where I seek you guys help??? 1. How to tell FreeBSD to which NIC to use? 2. Where else I should make changes under /etc folder? I will aprecaite your help! -- Thanks!
