I have tried specifying IO/MEM/IRQ in the kernel config file for each NIC, as well as not specifying anything other than 'device ed'. Here is the error (ipfw is the hostname): Oct 8 01:10:03 ipfw /kernel: ed0: address 00:04:5a:97:68:7a, type NE2000 (16 bit) Oct 8 01:10:03 ipfw pccardd[81]: ed0: Network Everywhere (Fast Ethernet 10/100 PC Card) inserted. Oct 8 01:10:14 ipfw pccardd[81]: Card "Linksys"("Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC2T)") [2.0] [(null)] matched "Linksys" ("Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC2T)") [(null)] [(null)] Oct 8 01:10:14 ipfw pccardd[81]: No free configuration for card Linksys Oct 8 01:10:14 ipfw pccardd[81]: pccardd started In the above error, I had specified 'device ed' in the kernel config, and I was given ed0 as the device id. When I specified 'device ed0' in the kernel config, upon reboot, the NIC would be ed1. Likewise, when I added both devices to the kernel config file: device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 device ed1 at isa? port 0x300 irq 3 iomem 0xdc000 Upon reboot, the operational NIC was ed2, and the second NIC would not be operational, with the same error from above. So, the question is, can multiple NE2000 PCMCIA cards be used simultaneously on FreeBSD 4.4 Release? TIA...
