My problem: I've got a server with six GE-interfaces - four onboard and two on an addon card. For unknown reasons FreeBSD assigns the first two interfaces (bge0+bge1) to the addon card and the remaining four (bge2 - bge5) to the onboard. Since this is somewhat confusing I'd like to have bge0 - bge3 assigned to the onboard interfaces and bge4+bge5 assigned to the addon card. Is there any way in FreeBSD10 to set this up? Thanks much in advance for your help, -ewald
