Uh, no, you shouldn't have to recompile. FreeBSD will just use two instances of the same driver and call the second one ed1. Or have you tried installing the second card and are having problems? If not try putting it in. It may come up perfectly right away when you reboot. You may also have to assign the proper IRQ to it. The cards may both want the same IRQ, but they should be configurable with a software utility. Depends on the card. Hope that helped, Tim On Thu, 9 Nov 2000, Drew Tomlinson wrote: > I have added a second network card to my system. It is the exact same card > as the first and is NE2000 compatible.
