alright, this problem is a bit weird. i rebuilt the kernel and included the parameters for the 2 AMD NIC's in the system. now, ifconfig shows them to be pcn0 and pcn1. i assigned them their ip addresses in rc.conf. now, for some reason, i cannot ping the interface from another system and i cannot ping another system from the FreeBSD box through either of the NIC's. i can however ping the NIC's themselves from the FreeBSD box. when i plug the cat5 cable into either jack and run "ifconfig" the status changes from "no carrier" to "active". what further confuses me is that there is no entry for either pcn0 or pcn1 in /dev. when i try "sh MAKEDEV pcn0" or "sh MAKEDEV pcn1" i get the following message: pcn0 (or pcn1) - no such device name. i don't know if the two are related or unrelated. can anyone help me out with this one? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
