I am in the process of trying to set up 2 Intel EE cards in an old 486 to use as a router. I have installed FreeBSD via FTP install (no CD-ROM) and it boots, but it only recognizes one of the cards. I know they do not conflict because I am really just migrating the box from LRP ( http://www.linuxrouter.org/ ) to FreeBSD so I can do fun things like install a SOCKS server on it. The machine has 2 IDE drives in it with no way to get them out and still have a functional copy of FreeBSD I think. The drives are both 200mb drives with one mounted on /usr while the other carries the rest of the load. Can I simply recompile the kernel with support for both cards or how do I do it? -- Ben Williams.
