Dear All , Yesterday ( March 11 , 2013 ) I have installed latest Current snapshot . During network card installation http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-post.html ( 2.9.2 Configuring Network Interfaces ) there is NO any loop to configure multiple network cards ( Figure 2-22. Choose a Network Interface ) . At the end , I wanted to configure an additional network card from menu : 2.9.7 Final Configuration ( Figure 2-43. Final Configuration ) It seems that this additional network configuration step is DESTROYING the previously selected another network card configuration , and replacing it by the newly selected ( different ) network card configuration . I did not select third network card configuration , therefore I do not know whether last selected one replaces the previous selected one or not . After the installation , the installed system is not operational any more if the erased network card definition is required . My suggestion : Please : Introduce a loop into step ( 2.9.2 Configuring Network Interfaces ) ( Figure 2-22. Choose a Network Interface ) Make network configuration steps additive if a different network card is selected. If the same network card is selected , in this case , retain last selected definition by erasing previous definition for the same network card . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
