Perhaps what I want to do isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask here anyway just to be sure (I posted the message below to freebsd-questions twice and no one had an answer). Thank you for any help you can provide. ----- I'm having trouble getting two 3Com PCCard Ethernet adapters to function at the same time in my Toshiba Satellite Pro 400 CS. Either card works fine if they are alone in the computer, but when they are both in during startup, only the first card is configured and the system indicates that there are no resources available for the second card. The startup messages look like this: May 24 08:42:35 nsy /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 May 24 08:42:35 nsy /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1 May 24 08:42:40 nsy sshd[179]: Listener created on port 22. May 24 08:42:40 nsy sshd[180]: Daemon is running. May 24 08:42:42 nsy /kernel: ep0: <3Com Etherlink III 3C589> at port 0x240-0x24f irq 5 slot 0 on pccard0 May 24 08:42:42 nsy /kernel: ep0: Ethernet address 00:10:4b:a0:54:ed May 24 08:42:42 nsy /kernel: ep0: supplying EUI64: 00:10:4b:ff:fe:a0:54:ed May 24 08:42:42 nsy pccard:ep0: 3Com Etherlink III inserted May 24 08:42:42 nsy /kernel: ep0: starting DAD for fe80:000a::0210:4bff:fea0:54ed May 24 08:42:43 nsy /kernel: ep0: DAD complete for fe80:000a::0210:4bff:fea0:54ed - no duplicates found May 24 08:42:47 nsy pccardd[46]: No free configuration for card 3Com May 24 08:42:47 nsy pccardd[46]: pccardd started There seems to be two problems: 1 - How to have FreeBSD allocate resources to both PCCards? (There are plenty of resources available, especially as the motherboard sound, lpt and com ports have all been disabled in system setup.) 2 - Once the second Ethernet card is working, how is it configured for TCP/IP? The lines used in the /etc/rc.conf file don't indicate how they can be applied to a specific Ethernet adapter (in this case it would be ep0 and ep1). Here are the relevant lines from /etc/rc.conf: pccard_ifconfig="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0" pccard_enable="YES" pccardd_flags="-i 5 -i 11" pccard_mem="DEFAULT" Thank you for your help!
