Just plain old > multi-port NICs.. The Intel dual-port adapters work nicely. In FreeBSD, they appear as two separate fxp interfaces. In Windows, the Intel drivers support 802.3ad link aggregation but they are fundamentally two separate interfaces on one card with different MAC addresses, IRQs, etc. Here's what an Intel PRO/100 S Dual Port Server Adapter looks like: fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xc000-0xc03f mem 0xe8000000-0xe801ffff,0xe8041000-0xe8041fff irq 5 at device 4.0 on pci2 fxp0: Ethernet address 00:02:b3:96:16:5e inphy0: <i82555 10/100 media interface> on miibus0 inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto fxp1: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xc400-0xc43f mem 0xe8020000-0xe803ffff,0xe8040000-0xe8040fff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci2 fxp1: Ethernet address 00:02:b3:96:16:5f inphy1: <i82555 10/100 media interface> on miibus1 inphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto -- David Siebörger drs@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
