Looking at the handbook and a search of archives hasn't turned up anything to make me confident that I can assign 1 NIC in a FreeBSD machine to the 2 different networks (i.e., assigning 2 different IP numbers to 1 NIC). Can it be done? The syntax for adding it to rc.conf is not apparent to me. Nor is what to do with the 'default gateway.' By definition it would seem that there can't be two "default gateways" but the second IP number needs a connection point too. Even if this can be configured I'm not certain that it will work through the radios which are members of the first 802.11a network. I could just try it, but the machine is also the company Internet gateway/firewall.
