adding second network card

[Volker Kindermann]

> I installed a second 3Com Etherlink 3 card in a new 5.0 FreeBSD box.
> Both of these devices should be using the vortex device I believe(vx0
> vx1 etc.) I have added the following to /etc/rc.conf:
> network_interfaces="lo0 vx0 vx1"ifconfig_vx0="inet 10.0.0.79 netmask
> 255.255.255.0"ifconfig_vx0="inet 10.0.0.80 netmask 255.255.255.0"

I think it's a typo that you use vx0 twice?

Is the card recognized in dmesg-output? Please show us the corresponding
dmesg.
