Subject:   Adding second NIC to FreeBSD

I'm editing my kernel configuration file and want to add a second 
NIC. Both NICs are GeniusLAN NE2000 compatible 10BaseT NICs. The 
first one has worked fine with the ed driver. My question is this- 

In the kernel configuration file, there is a line like so:

device		ed0	at isa? port 0x280 irq 5 iomem 0xd8000

I assume that if I want to add a second one, I should add the 
following:

device		ed1 at isa? port 0x260 irq 12 iomem 0xd8000

(the IRQ and port are set on the new card.)

I guess the question is, is this the right way to do it, and what 
does the "iomem" setting do? It's the only one I don't understand.

Thanks,

Corey Snow
