Hi,
You must have forgotten to indicate the system that another usable card
is in it, add the ed1 interface to the following line in the /etc/rc.conf
file to look like this:
network_interfaces="fxp0 tun0 lo0 ed1"
also if the fxp0 card isnt working anymore, remove it from this line.
Good Luck...
Ales

it? :)
