I don't have this problem on 3.6 or 3.7 on machines with onboard em, but I do see that the nic numbering varies depending on what IRQ is used for each port. Does the IBM BIOS give the ability to set the interrupt for the individual ports on the quad card? > em0 at pci1 dev 1 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000CT (82547EI)" rev 0x00: irq 5, > address: 00:11:25:aa:44:92 . . . > em1 at pci3 dev 6 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000MT QP (82546EB)" rev 0x01: irq > 11, address: 00:04:23:b2:89:16 > em2 at pci3 dev 6 function 1 "Intel PRO/1000MT QP (82546EB)" rev 0x01: irq > 11, address: 00:04:23:b2:89:17 . . . > em3 at pci4 dev 3 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000MT (82541EI)" rev 0x00: irq 11, > address: 00:11:25:aa:44:93 The IDs for your em0 and em3 seem odd. My Quad cards were all purchased in one batch, but some come up as "MT" with the same "Intel PRO/1000MT QP (82546EB)" ID as above, others are "MF", as seen below (a Dell PE750 with dual onboard em): $uname -r 3.6 $ dmesg |grep "Intel PRO" em0 at pci1 dev 1 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000CT (82547EI)" rev 0x00: irq 10, address: 00:c0:9f:43:3c:c6 em1 at pci3 dev 4 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000MF QP (82546EB)" rev 0x01: irq 7, address: 00:04:23:09:58:18 em2 at pci3 dev 4 function 1 "Intel PRO/1000MF QP (82546EB)" rev 0x01: irq 7, address: 00:04:23:09:58:19 em3 at pci3 dev 6 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000MF QP (82546EB)" rev 0x01: irq 7, address: 00:04:23:09:58:1a em4 at pci3 dev 6 function 1 "Intel PRO/1000MF QP (82546EB)" rev 0x01: irq 7, address: 00:04:23:09:58:1b em5 at pci4 dev 2 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000MT (82541EI)" rev 0x00: irq 6, address : 00:c0:9f:43:3c:c7 $ exit Kevin
