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 Kim Shrier jahanur wrote: > > Hi, > I have installed another 3Com NIC to my existing 3com NIC, but I dont see > system recognized it as "ep1".
