Folks,

I am trying to get an old ThinkPad to work with two ed NICs (future
firewall).  I have tried specifying IO/MEM/IRQ in the kernel config file for
each NIC, as well as not specifying anything other than 'device ed'.  Here
is the error (ipfw is the hostname):

Oct  8 01:10:03 ipfw /kernel: ed0: address 00:04:5a:97:68:7a, type NE2000
(16 bit) 
Oct  8 01:10:03 ipfw pccardd[81]: ed0: Network Everywhere (Fast Ethernet
10/100 PC Card) inserted.
Oct  8 01:10:14 ipfw pccardd[81]: Card "Linksys"("Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard
(EC2T)") [2.0] [(null)] matched "Linksys" ("Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard
(EC2T)") [(null)] [(null)] 
Oct  8 01:10:14 ipfw pccardd[81]: No free configuration for card Linksys
Oct  8 01:10:14 ipfw pccardd[81]: pccardd started

In the above error, I had specified 'device ed' in the kernel config, and I
was given ed0 as the device id.  When I specified 'device ed0' in the kernel
config, upon reboot, the NIC would be ed1.  Likewise, when I added both
devices to the kernel config file:

device                ed0     at isa? port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
device                ed1     at isa? port 0x300 irq 3 iomem 0xdc000

Upon reboot, the operational NIC was ed2, and the second NIC would not be
operational, with the same error from above.  So, the question is, can
multiple NE2000 PCMCIA cards be used simultaneously on FreeBSD 4.4 Release?
TIA...
