Yes, (many people use *BSD boxes for ethernet to ethenet routers) you'll probably need to build a custom kernel with modified device entries for the multiple cards. If the cards are software configurable you'll have to configure each one separatly, with only one in the machine at a time. Then just create the relevent device entries in the kernel config file. If there is one entry for your card with say: device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr and you have another card of the same type then just add another entry, eg: device ep1 at isa? port 0x330 net irq 11 vector epintr -Paul- -- Paul Civati =O= Home: paul@xciv.org =O= http://www.xciv.org/ London UK =O= Home: paul@xciv.demon.co.uk =O= Slackware is.
