NICs not showing

[ALBERT MARTINEZ]

Sorry I can't submit a dmesg but my OBSD 4.0 box is in the proces of being
setup.

The problem is that my two DFE-530 TX+ nics do not show up in the dmesg nor do
they have a /etc/hostname.rl*.  I thought they were supposed to do so
automatically.  The green light is on.  My audio and modem card show up in the
dmesg.  I swappped the cards around.  Problem persists.

Installing on a Duron and an ASUS A7V E/550/WOA/WOL UAY.

Please help.  What's the first thing I should look at.

Not in the system.  Both commands result in #, my command prompt.
Additionally, I had OpenBSD 3.0 functioning on this machine with these nics
a few years ago.

I plugged both NICs into a windows xp home box, Emachines T6528, one at a
time, and both nics appear in Control Panel/Network and Internet
Connections/Network Connections and in System Information/Network/Adapter
as:
  Name: [008] Realtek RT8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
  Adapter Type:  Ethernet 802.3
  Product Type:  Realtek RT8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC, Installed:
Yes).

I left the DFE-530 TX+ out of my OBSD box and put in:
1)  Unknown 10bps pci NIC
2)  Netgear FA310TX, pci
3)  2 3Com 3c905B TX Fast Etherlink XL PCI

Resulting DMESG entries are:
fxp0 at pci0 dev 11 function 0 "Intel 8255x" rev 0x22, i82557: irq 12

The DFEs are still a mystery, but, I have 4 apparently working NICs to
choose 2 from.  Any suggestions?

What sort of configuration do you guys suggest I set my OBSD 4.0 box to so I
can use it between my redmond boxes and my itty bitty dsl box to protect the
little redmonds.  Throw me some key words and pointers please.

My little dsl box is a Westell 6100 model: e90-610015-06, specially made for
verizon.  A pdf for it off the westell
site(http://www.westell.com/content/products/pdf/liteline.pdf) has the
following bits:
Routing (Model 6100 Only)
. Up to 253 users with a user supplied
Ethernet hub
. Network Address Translation
(NAPT/PAPT)
. DHCP - Automatic or manual local
address assignment
. DNS proxy Implementation
. Stateful inspected packet filtering
firewall
. RFC 2364, RFC 2684, RFC 1577,
RFC 2255
Transport and Application Protocol
Support (Model 6100 Only)
. TCP, UDP, ICMP, SMTP, NNTP, FTP, HTTP,
HTTPS, SSL
. Support for PPTP/L2TP/IPSEC/VPN
Tunnel through NAT router
. Bridged PPPoE from PC simultaneously
with NAT router
. PPPoE session

Westell doesn't seem to want to divugle anymore information as the little box
is made especially for verizon.
