Ignore the uninformed person that said that.  You already have the best
Ethernet card FreeBSD supports.  My lab has a few machines with three of
them working just fine.

Why?  Since you have "tun0", I assume you are using /usr/sbin/ppp rather
than /usr/sbin/pppd?  But with two Ethernet cards, it seems you don't
want PPP at all.  Anyway, ``pppd'' really isn't what you should be using
unless you are in a rare position that ``ppp'' won't do something for
you.

As someone pointed out, this seems wrong.  Just what is it you are
wanting to achieve?  Since you mention a college campus, are you sure you
aren't wanting to configure at least one of the NIC's via DHCP?

With PCI devices (which the Intel EtherExpress Pro is one), you only need
*one* mention of the device in your kernel config.  ``fxp0'' is all you
need -- no matter how many of them you have.
