Hi all, I am using FreeBSD 7 and all my computers have built in intel lan cards. When you boot you get em0 and em1. On some pc's I add an additional network card which shows up as em2 and em3. The problem I have is that on certain hardware that network card will take the spaces em0 and em1, and the onboard cards will shuffle. Now for various reasons this is a problem - is there any way to specify/force cards on boot. I don't want to rename them because I can't tell when this will/wont happen; I would rather force it somehow to prefer the onboard cards? Thanks for the help Dave
