Re: Setting Default NIC

I Just upgraded my freebsd machine to a new board, this one has an
onboard NIC where as the old one just had a PCI 10/100 nic. I put the
old NIC on the new board as well so I can have 2 running out of the
machine, but I don't know how to set it so that the onboard NIC (vr0) is
the default and the PIC nic (r10) is not, because when I unplug the PCI
one all net connectivity shuts down. Here's my ifconfig and my rc.conf
as always help is much appreciated.

are those 2 nics going to be bonded into 1 interface? haveing 2 nics, on
the same network isnt really going to earn you anything unless they are
bonded or loadbalanced, either thru network configuration or switching
hardware.
if youre not going to go thru one of those techniques, then i would remove
one nics.
unless, long shot (tm), as in this has no technical base, just a guess...
have you tried reversing the order in which they appear in the rc.conf
file? i dont know if that matters, or if it reads the order of their
IRQs, but it might be worth a shot if you really want both of those nics.
