: I'm having some trouble getting BSD to recognize more than one

: cards are 3com 3c509b and 3c509. 

Sorry if this is a dumb answer, but have you booted with "-c" and
changed the IRQ ?  Also, I belive only one ep device is available
in the generic kernel.  Have you rebuilt a new kernel with an ep1
device ?

Hint: "ifconfig -a" will tell you about all installed interfaced
drivers.
