There is more, I had one card in the secondary x16 slot and one card=20 in the usable x1 slot. I noticed that in the above situation, the fwe=20 inteface was still configured. I took the card from the secondary x16 slot and put it in the primary=20 x16 slot, Booted up and the em0 interface came up. I shut down the fwe=20= interface and was able to ping the em0 interface. I moved the card from the=20 usable x1 slot and moved it to the secondary x16 slot. Now both cards=20 show up as up and running but I cannot ping the em1 interface. I went into=20 rc.conf and took out the fwe configuration line. It still shows up in=20 ifconfig listed between em0 and em1. I am suspecting that this interface is somehow=20 interfering with the em1 interface. So progress is happening but I am=20 weary of the sleuthing I have to do to get things working. At least I do have=20= one enet connection to the machine, now. Jeff K
