The support team from supermicro send me a new NIC EEPROM.
After installing, both nics are seen by FreeBSD.


1. This EEPROM package is for X9SCM(-F) and X9SCL(-F).
2. Changed SVID to 15D9 in EEPROM files.
3. For X9SCL-F and X9SCM-F, please use X9SCLF batch file.
4. For X9SCL and X9SCM, please use X9SCL batch file.

So for me the problems are solved.
regards
Johan
