I'm certain I read up on this somewhere before...
When you install a FreeBSD system (6.1 here), the devices don't always
configure in order. For example, I have a few Dell PowerEdge systems,
upon which 2 are FreeBSD
The devices would normally appear in order (similar to Linux) where
they are physically attached... first, em0 and em1 would be the
motherboard NICs, then any PCI cards.
So, I look at them physically, expecting to hook em1 into a separate
network, but em1 is actually another port.
BOTH systems are different, too.
That's the best way I can think of to describe it.
Anyone know how to solve this problem in FreeBSD-6.x.
Thanks.
I would post /var/run/dmesg.boot. I would also check that
both boxes a physically wired the same, same system board
rev. etc.
On my multihomed box tx0 is always before sis0 which corresponds
to the device order.
tx0: SMC EtherPower II 10/100 port 0x1400-0x14ff mem 0xf4806000-0xf4806fff
irq 9 at device 15.0 on pci0
sis0: NatSemi DP83815 10/100BaseTX port 0x1800-0x18ff mem
0xf4807000-0xf4807fff irq 9 at device 16.0 on pci0
