No : I just bought the board a couple of days ago and did not
try anything else than fbsd on it.

That said, I looked again at the Block Diagram in the manual and
wonder whether they mean "second physical CPU"? I just
have one Opteron 285 installed for now (ordered a second one).
Do you have physically two CPUs installed? 

I have both interfaces enabled in the BIOS (and playing with the
"MAC Bridge" setting does not help (but I do not understand what
that setting is supposed to do...)

Thanx for your help

Regards, Arno
