| 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

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.
