Howdy,

Just installed 2.2.2-Release from scratch; this is my first 
time with FreeBSD, and I am most impressed.  I need to bind 
about 55 IPs to my network card (Intel EPro/100B).  After a 
little spelunking, I was able to figure out what rc.conf 
wanted to create the aliases, and I bound my primary IP address 
and 10 aliases to the card.  When I re-booted, I started 
getting the following errors:

fxp0: Unsupported PHY type=7, addr=1

Once booted, I can FTP out, and I can ping my primary IP address 
and the 0th alias, but aliases 1-9 yield a "server is down" 
message.  Using netstat, I was able to verify that all the aliases 
were, in fact, bound to the card.  But they weren't responding. 
One other quirk with the whole setup is that two of the addresses 
are on a seperate class C network than the rest.  I've got routed 
running with -s -m as parameters, have gateway_enabled set to "YES" 
in the rc.conf.

The network chunk of rc.conf looks like this:
network_interfaces="lo0 fxp0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 207.221.230.201"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 206.216.217.19"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet 206.216.217.20"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias2="inet 207.221.230.202"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias3="inet 207.221.230.203"
...
ifconfig_fxp0_alias9="inet 207.221.230.209"


Machine specs:
P6 200
64 meg RAM
Don't remember the motherboard, but Award BIOS
PCI Intel EPro/100B adapter
Adaptec 2940U SCSI adapter
Seagate ST15150 4gig HD
Plextor 6Plex SCSI CD-ROM
Floppy drive, 1 Parallel port, 1 serial port for mouse
Vanilla VGA card


Any pointers or ideas?  Am I missing something?

Pax, etc.
