Im not 100% sure about this. I think the 'device ep' in your kernel files says compile the code for all NIC of type ep. I would try to setup the second card at the rc.conf. Reboot and see if you can use it. Ifconfig only set up your NIC up for the session. As soon as you reboot its gone. -- Best regards, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
