i am trying to get a computer with a 3com 3c509 and a vesa pcnet32. the
3com card is recognized and works fine. however, i cannot seem to get the
vesa to be recognized at all. from what i have read it seems that freebsd
has support for vesa cards so i should be recognized but i can't seem to
get it to work. when i run ifconfig i get this:

as far as i can tell it is not even recognizing the second card and adding
it to the interfaces. unless it is one of the ones above. however, the
ones above when brought up do not provide mac addresses so i am assuming
that they are not one of the cards. so my question is: how do i get the
second card recognized, and working? thank you, and sorry for the long
post.

btw, i put that 486 in the computer room at wcf. it has two working
linux compatible 10baseT ethernet cards. one is an isa 3c509 and the
other is a vesa pcnet32.
i had to use the 3c5x9setup program jensen gave me to get them to play
nice together.
feel free to overwrite everything on the hard drive, etc.
if you upgrade, i might want it back at a later time, but maybe not.
try not to destroy it. i have $5 invested in the hard drive in it. :)

btw, did you see that 2130 tutor post on git.ads? that was my first
