The N-port NICs show up as N distinct devices? They just happen to all use the same PCI slot. What are the downsides of using one like the dual port Intel card? Does FreeBSD have support for the Adaptec Quartet four-port card? Thanks. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
