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? I have configured a machine which uses one SMC Etherpower2 card and one ZNYX 314 card. The ZNYX is 4 10baseT ports, for a total of 6 10baseT ports in 2 PCI slots. Works great with the standard if_de driver - many thanks to Matt Thomas!
