Good afternoon!
I'm very new to UNIX and FreeBSD too. I would like to use FreeBSD on PC
as firewall and use two 3Com 3900 XL PCI adapters. But I receive a
message that kernel is built for one device and interface vx1 cannot be
configured. Could you help me and answer:
is such configuration possible at all?
how should I rebuild(should I?) kernel?, what to change in configuration
file?
Maybe, there is somewhere ready kernel for such configuration?

Thank you in advance
