Nothing valid at the moment because I tried recompiling my kernel with the following lines hoping that the probe would fill in the details. (I think that's what "at isa?" means?): device ed0 at isa? device ed1 at isa? Anyway, only ed0 was found. ed1 was not defined so now I'm recompiling with the following: device ed0 at isa? port 0x240 irq 9 iomem 0xd8000 device ed1 at isa? port 0x260 irq 11 iomem 0xd0000 I assume the iomem parameter for ed0 was determine during setup somehow. I didn't write the line originally. It was in my GENERIC config after the original install of 4.0. The other interesting part is that the port and irq were set to 0x280 and 10, respectively but the card was set to 0x240 and 9. The motherboard doesn't have PnP but the network card still worked. In any case, I thought it would be better to set it correctly. Then when I added the 2nd NIC, I just copied the first line and changed the values. > did you add 'ed1' to your network interfaces in rc.conf? Yes. Here's my entries: network_interfaces="ed0 ed1 lo0" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" Am I missing something? > i recently had a problem with an NE2000 nic in a NEC which > had onboard > video and sound > that used most of the irq's... > i got around it somehow by defining the same nic with different irq > settings in the kernel. I don't think this is the problem here. They are just simple network cards with no added features. Thanks for your help! I'd really like to get this working so I can venture into firewalls, NAT, and routing.
