Since the 3Com NIC is an ISA device, you need to configure ep1 into
the kernel and rebuild it. For example, assuming that your current
3Com NIC is at I/O address 0x300 and uses IRQ 10, then your kernel
configuration will have a line like:
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10
Assuming that your second 3Com NIC is at I/O address 0x320 and uses IRQ
11, then you will need to add the following line:
device ep1 at isa? port 0x320 net irq 11
You should adjust the address and IRQ for your particular hardware. After
you rebuild your kernel, you should edit rc.conf to say:
network_interfaces="lo0 ep0 ep1"
And, you will need to add a line like:
ifconfig_ep1="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy"
with your IP address at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and your mask, (probably
255.255.255.0), at yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
