I installed a 2nd NIC, added an entry for it in my kernel config file,
recompiled, and added appropriate entries (AFAIK) in rc.conf.  Upon reboot,
FBSD detects both cards and sets them up but only the original responds to
ping.  I get the following messages at restart:

[snip]

ed0: address 00:40:05:66:b2:55, type NE2000 (16 bit)
ed1 at port 0x260-0x27f iomem 0xd8000 irq 11 on isa0

So from this I gather that something is not working right with my second
NIC.  I know the card works as it was just removed from another PC and was
working under Windows 2000.  I have a link light on my hub.  What steps
should I take to begin troubleshooting?  I'm a newbie so please respond
assuming I know nothing.  :)

Thanks,

Drew
