Re: Freebsd with multiple nic's

If you need a different motherboard check out the newer intel motherboards you'll need one that supports PCI-X, then you can use the 4-port intel ethernet card, or the two port ethernet card. These will be in the entry-level intel server motherboards (and beyond entry level), which will come with one or two built-in ethernet NICs on the motherboard.

You can just check them out at intel's website.

Well, I shut down what I don't need and I can see
those shared irqs. I guess you are on the point.

My problem is that I can only use Intel pro 10/100
cards.

Is any motherboard that come with flexible BIOS so
that I can play around irqs?

Thanks
