>Description:
I am unable to bind more that 1 IP address to 3com FAST Etherlink XL 3c905B PCI network cards. I made edits to the /etc/rc.conf file by adding an alias0:

ifconfig_x10="inet 207.212.91.214 netmask 255.255.255.255.128"
ifconfig_x10_alias0="inet 207.212.91.xx netmask 255.255.255.128"

upon reboot, I used the ipconfig -a and the Ip did not bind and I am unable to ping it. I tried it on 3 differnet 3c905b cards and they all would not bind.

I swapped cards to a 3com Etherlink III 3c509B-TPO ISA card and I was able to bind more than 1 IP address to card.


>How-To-Repeat:
Put in a 3com 3c905B card.
