hello misc@ I bought a collection of old quad port NICS from Ebay and put them in a old gateway server, just to see what would happen.
Everything worked great the only trouble I had was *if* the plug and play os option in bios was set to yes. the GENERIC kernel will panic on boot up, however with the plug and play os option in bios set to NO I get the following dmesg. anyone have any ideas on how to use pf to basically emulate a 10/100 switch (with built in firewall support :) ) any ideas are welcome.
