Hi
     Mobo is MSI nforce3 250gb with onboard  gbit lan.  After  I
plugged  in  a  802.llg dlink  510  wireless  nic ( yet  to  be
configured - planning ndis  wrappers) in  the  1st pci slot next to
agp,  I noticed the  following

nve0f0: Ethernet address: 00:05:04:03:02:01
nve0f1: Ethernet address: 00:05:04:03:02:01
nve0f2: Ethernet address: 00:05:04:03:02:01
nve0f3: Ethernet address: 00:05:04:03:02:01

Never  saw it before that. 00:05:04:03:02:01 is the  MAC address I
configured thru bios.
Why  do I see 4  nics?  Whats f0,f1,f2.f3?

Freebsd  7.0-current.
