Hi, Dinesh. This is a question much beyond the scope of freebsd-newbies. I am forwarding this to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. I do not have any solid answers, but some comments below...

I would suggest upgrading to at least 2.2.8-STABLE[0], if not 3.x-STABLE. > It has two Network Interface cards. > > 1.

If this is a fresh install and you are working out bugs and configuring from scratch, however, might as well start at 3.x-STABLE... my humble opinions of course. -- Crist J.
