Hi, people!

I have a problem with two EtherExpress LAN cards. 
When I ifconfig both of them (the fxp0 and fxp1 devices)
and try ping, the only one replies, while the second
gives:

ping: sendto: Host is down

It seems to me, like it's because they sit on the same
irq (12)

Some details: I have the 2.2.5-Release box with 2 Intel 
EtherExpress Pro/100 PCI LAN cards and they both sit on
the same irq, no matter how I try to change it (I've tried
changing both BIOS and kernel settings). BIOS type is Award.

This is how my Free detects cards when booting:

---------------------------------------------------------------

/kernel: FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE #0: Wed Jun 17 17:51:49 EEST 1998
/kernel:     root@romukr.kiev.ua:/usr/src/sys/compile/raider

/kernel: fxp1: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:9c:4c:10

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the output of ifconfig -a:

So, if anyone had already managed with such a problem, please tell me how 
did you set irqs for fxp cards. Thank you in advance,

Yours
