Hi All:)

Is anyone using FreeBSD on hardware with multiple independent PCI busses
to increase total bus bandwidth?

I got an Abit KT7 mobo with 6 pci slots and expected to find multiple pci
busses, but my three scsi and ethernet controllers seem to share the same
bus.

I'm interested in putting together an eight to twelve port 100 Mbit
router, and any way I slice it a single PCI bus comes up as a hard limit
pretty quickly.  I'm not aware of any multi-port ethernet cards with fast
or wide interfaces, (anyone know of any?) so am looking for
recommendations on multiple PCI busses.

Thanks,

--- David
