If you are using PCI network cards (which it sounds like you are), all you should have to do is put it in your /etc/rc.conf. For example, say you have two network cards: rl0 and rl1, and rl0 is on the outside interface and rl1 is inside (I presume you're setting up a firewall with natd?) you would make your /etc/rc.conf look something like this: network_interfaces="rl0 rl1 lo0" hostname="gateway.mybsdgw.com" # your hostname here gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" # If you are using ipfw firewall_type="OPEN" # your firewall type here natd_enable="YES" # If you are using natd natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf" natd_interface="rl0" ifconfig_rl0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy" ifconfig_rl1="inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" To setup natd, read "man natd" they have pretty good tutorial there.
