Hello again,
of course, everything was there:
dmesg - YES
ifconfig - YES
rc.conf - YES
But, whenever the machine boots, ifconfig returns:
rl0: flags 8843 <snip> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.11 netmask <snip>
ether <snip>
media <snip>
status: active
rl1: flags 8843 <snip> mtu 1500
ether <snip>
media <snip>
status: no carrier
Both have the same flags. Second has no IP/MSK/BCAST.
ifconfig rl1 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 always returns
config: ioctl (SIOCIFADDR): File exists
What could be wrong ?
It is the same when I xchange both cards/use another PCI slots.
Peter
