Adding 4 port HP NC150T NIC into FreeBSD 4.11

Hi,

I have an internal HP DL-140 running FreeBSD 4.11p13.  The two internal
NIC's (bge1 & bge2) and a HP NC150T  PCI NIC (bge0), are all running fine.
I have just pulled out the 1 port PCI NIC, and installed a HP 4 port NIC.

Interestingly, I found that only the first port on the NIC (BCM5705K -
bge0), is recognised by FreeBSD.  Surely, if it recognises one, it would
recognise them all?


Here is the dmesg NIC portion:

<snip>

pcib1: <ServerWorks host to PCI bridge(unknown chipset)> on motherboard
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5705K Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x3003> mem
0xfeaf0000-0xfeafffff irq 3 at device 6.0 on pci1
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:11:85:12:ea:a9

brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,

miibus2: <MII bus> on bge2
brgphy2: <BCM5704 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> on miibus2
brgphy2:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,
1000baseTX-FDX, auto
<snip>

Any idea why it doesn't recognise the other 3 ports of the PCI HP NC150T NIC

Cheers,
