Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We have some FreeBSD 3.3 servers which we'd like to have dual NICs in. Normally, this isn't a problem, but the servers we have seem to hand upon network initialization when we put a pair of 3C905B or Cs in them. This, however, isn't the question at hand. I noticed that Intel makess a Pro/100+ NIC which is dual ported (ie, two ethernet ports). Now I see that the Pro/100+ NIC is supported via the fxp driver. Will this specific Pro/100+ NIC work? Will it show up as fxp0 and fxp1? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------- Mark Rekai - INetU, Inc.(tm) - http://www.INetU.net Electronic commerce - Web development - Web hosting Mark@INetU.net - Phone: (610) 266-7441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
