You have only to have devices for both cards compiled into the kernel. If say both are intel 10/100 cards you need both fxp0 & fxp1. If one is an intel & the other a 3com 509 you would need fxp0 & vxp0. And so on, ceteris peribus. The kernel will then recognize both cards & you need only have both interfaces configured. Just copy what you have now in rc.conf, with changes as necessary. dc _____________________ David Coder SysAdmin WebHosting Verio.com 703-749-7955 x1314 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
