adding second network card

[clay spencer]

Volker yes sorry that is a typo. If I give the following command: ifconfig vx1 create I will recieve the error: ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument As far as dmesg goes. The only thing that is getting logged is a list of kernel interupts. I see all the other normal startup messages written to console and the 3/4 of the way through I see this big kernel interupt vector list scroll by but this was happening before I added the second care. These are the only things in /var/log/dmesg.today: *Handler Int
    332 g_provider R  *Handler Int
    333 g_consumer R  *Handler Int
    334 g_bioq R  *Handler Int
    335 g_event R  *Handler Int
    371 vnode R  *Handler Int
    372 proc R  *Handler Int
    373 cdev R  *Handler Int
    374 bio R  *Handler Int
    375 buf R  *Handler Int there are @ 900 or so lines containing similar entries this seems to be a seperate problme of course but it is impeding my troubleshooting of the NIC problem. If you have any ideas?

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

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