Hi, Thanks, There are no IDE devices in the machine and there is a 7860 chip on the motherboard. I finally resolved the problem by moving the card from slot 1 to slot 4 (PCI) I believe that there must have been some IRQ conflict. I'll have to look that over again as I would like to put a scsi controller in the free PCI slot. Does anyone know if the fxp driver supports IRQ sharing?. with the newer motherboards I've come across a lot of IRQ's assigned to more than one slot. Thanks again. -- Andre. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Tancsa <mike@sentex.net> To: Andre Chang <Andre@HighCaliber.com> Cc: <freebsd-net@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, October 29, 1999 8:27 PM Subject: Re: Third Ethernet card "fxp2" > On 29 Oct 1999 14:06:46 -0400, in sentex.lists.freebsd.net you wrote: > > >Hello, > > > >I'd like to know if there are any known issues when enabling a 3rd ethernet > >interface on a system config'd as follows > > > >1 PR440FX > >2 Pentium Pro Processors > >128MB RAM > >SCSI HDD and CDROM > >3 Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B adapters (fxp0 is onboard) > > > >3.3-STABLE FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #3: Sat Oct 23 15:57:22 EST 1999 > >SMP Kernel > >IPFW enabled > >NATD enabled > > There shouldnt be..
