Hello, Is there a generalized mechanism in FreeBSD for duplexing two NICs ? That is, if I have two 10BaseT ethernet cards in one machine, and two in another machine, is it easy for me to connect the two NICs in one to the two NICs in the other and get 20Mb/s ? And then turn around and do it with some other cards, possibly 100BaseT or 802.11b cards or whatever ? Or is the ability to do this selective based on which card and which driver you are using, and does it even exist for most ? I am hoping that there is some lower level mechanism that allows duplexed connections between any old NIC that has a working driver, and that it doesn't depend on the driver itself ... (note - I am not interested or referring to MLPPP .. bonded PPP ... or maybe I am ? I think it is totally unrelated, but maybe that is the general mechanism that you bind together NICs? I suspect not) thanks, PT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
