Hello again, of course, everything was there: dmesg - YES ifconfig - YES rc.conf - YES
But, whenever the machine boots, ifconfig returns: rl0: flags 8843 <snip> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.11 netmask <snip> ether <snip> media <snip> status: active rl1: flags 8843 <snip> mtu 1500 ether <snip> media <snip> status: no carrier Both have the same flags. Second has no IP/MSK/BCAST. ifconfig rl1 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 always returns config: ioctl (SIOCIFADDR): File exists What could be wrong ? It is the same when I xchange both cards/use another PCI slots.
