probably has to do with the order the system finds the NICs. the 'new' one you're putting in is found before the one you're used to, and thus it is xl0 and the one that used to be xl0 is xl1 because it was the second xl(4) that got found. /etc/hostname.if takes over. did you try a different physical order of the cards on the motherboard? ... comparing the output of ifconfig -A in both circumstances ( with the new card and without ) should let you know what is happening. jared -- [ openbsd 3.7 GENERIC ( mar 18 ) // i386 ]
