Hi!
Well, it almost happened - we are running out of slots in our FBSD
server/router. I wonder which (if any) multiport ethernet cards (like SMC
EtherPower2) work with FreeBSD. (FBSD driver not included, as might be
expected). Are they indeed '2 adapters in one' as marketed (i.e. I just put
2 devices - ed[i] and ed[i+1] - in LINT) or is a special driver required?

             Thanks in advance                  Genie

 I don't think anyone on the C++ standards committee believes that all
 C++ programs should be strictly conforming.
