Ahaa, that explains a lot. ;) Using your instructions I was able to compile ep, ex and fe0 into the kernel. Now I'll just have to find a suitable time to shutdown the server and test the cards. > BTW, do you actually have all these nics? Actually I don't have ex (included that one by mistake), but I should have at least fe, ed and ep cards + I have access to the QA lab here at work and they have all kinds of NICs. Maybe I'll gather as many different ones as possible and spend a weekend trying them all. If you think that it would be worth it, that is. I might also have a bug to report concerning bridge + ipfw on alpha, but I'll have to repeat it a few times before I'll cry wolf. The firewall I have now is an alpha too and it panicked a few times when none of the interfaces had ip addresses assigned. More specs on that when I get around to it. -jake -- Jarkko Santala <jake@iki.fi> http://www.iki.fi/jake/ System Administrator Cell. +358 40 720 4512 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
