I know that the card | works with the fxp driver and shows up as fxp0 and fxp1. If there is no | way to do adaptive load balancing, is there a way to do link redundancy? | Since the card shows up as two cards, I realize this would be some sort of | software solution. We are also using a 3com 3300 switch which also | supports port trunking to aggregate links together into one faster link. No such free solutions exist, IIRC. Also, since they appear as two cards, they *are* two cards. It would be no different from using two pci cards. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
