OK everyone,
Resolved the problem with the NIC - just wasn't compatible, so I swapped it
for a spare FA310 and all is well - I now have pn0 and pn1. The FA311 has
now gone into a windows machine!
Now I have a new problem: I've added the line:
ifconfig_pn1="DHCP"
into rc.conf
On reboot I get the message:
ifconfig: DHCP: Bad value
and, of course, no IP address is set for the NIC.
However if I run :
dhclient pn1
from the command prompt, I am provided with an IP address by the remote host
and I can ping the world. I'm running 3.2 - any idea what should be put in
rc.conf to start DHCP client at each re-boot?
ciao,
Ric

Subject: Problem Adding 2nd NIC
I'd appreciate a few pointers having tried the archives and mailing list for
relevant info.
I am adding a 2nd NIC for a cable modem. It is a Netgear FA311. I had no
problems configuring the first card, a Netgear FA310TX some time ago using
pn0.
I've added the line:
device pn1 (with no additional parameters)
to the config file,
and then executed:
/usr/sbin/config NEWKERNEL (which reports the new compile directory on
completion)
cd ../../compile/NEWKERNEL
make depend
make
make install
pn1 is not recognised on reboot nor with ifconfig -a. The card is working
fine. The only think I've noticed is that 'make' completes in about 2-3 mins
which seems way too short.
Can't think what else might be wrong - any clues anyone?
