Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.85e X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi, here's a silly question. I currently have a machine running that has a de0 and a fxp0 card in it. I want to replace the de0 card with another identical fxp one.. since they're both PCI, how do I know which card will become fxp0 and which will become fxp1 ?? I could just "try it out",, but I'd like to minimize downtime so if there is a way to know this in advance (slot position, etc.) I'd really love to know!
