Both the NICs are 3Com 3C509 Etherlink III cards. One, the newer one works fine with FreeBSD, recognised etc and happily = runs away with no help. The other - 3Com Etherlink III 3C509 Assy 8362-11 Rev B does not work at = all with FBSD but is OK with Win95. Is the older card simply not supported? It uses a transciever LANart = Model ETT1101 Dip 123 are up 4 is down (default setting) would this be a = problem? If I can't use the older card can I install a second NIC the same as the = newer one and have FBSD recognise the second card imediately as ed1? If = not am I better off going for a second NIC from a different manufacturer = and using a different driver? Thanks in advance, Mik ------=_NextPart_000_0030_01BF0AB7.6DDA9E00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2014.210" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have an two old 486 based machines, = two ethernet=20 cards and am trying to build a router/gateway.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Both the NICs are 3Com 3C509 Etherlink = III=20 cards.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>One, the newer one works fine with = FreeBSD,=20 recognised etc and happily runs away with no help.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>The other - 3Com Etherlink III 3C509 = Assy 8362-11=20 Rev B does not work at all with FBSD but is OK with Win95.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Is the older card simply not supported? = It uses a=20 transciever LANart Model ETT1101 Dip 123 are up 4 is down (default = setting)=20 would this be a problem?</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>If I can't use the older card can I = install a=20 second NIC the same as the newer one and have FBSD recognise the second = card=20 imediately as ed1?
