If I give the following command: ifconfig vx1 create I will recieve the error: ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument As far as dmesg goes. The only thing that is getting logged is a list of kernel interupts. I see all the other normal startup messages written to console and the 3/4 of the way through I see this big kernel interupt vector list scroll by but this was happening before I added the second care. These are the only things in /var/log/dmesg.today: *Handler Int 332 g_provider R *Handler Int 333 g_consumer R *Handler Int 334 g_bioq R *Handler Int 335 g_event R *Handler Int 371 vnode R *Handler Int 372 proc R *Handler Int 373 cdev R *Handler Int 374 bio R *Handler Int 375 buf R *Handler Int there are @ 900 or so lines containing similar entries this seems to be a seperate problme of course but it is impeding my troubleshooting of the NIC problem. If you have any ideas?

On the console during boot I see the error: "ifconfig: > interface vx1 does not exist" Is the card recognized in dmesg-output? Please show us the corresponding dmesg. -volker _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
