Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 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.
