With DP-2 my 2nd ether won't config
        ( but I've got other FreeBSDs right in the past with 2 ether
        cards.  the mail gate on another box, relaying this mail has
        DSL+ether & Internal net+ether)
Any know why some devices get conf'd as inet6 + inet & some just as inet6 ?
Could that be part of the problem ?

If I boot with /etc/rc.conf
        ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.53.47 netmask 255.255.255.0"
        # ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.53.39 netmask 255.255.255.0"
        # network_interfaces="auto"     # default
I see:
    ifconfig -a
        fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
                inet 192.168.53.47 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.53.255
                inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe9c:e0a5%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
                ether 00:a0:c9:9c:e0:a5

        works ok

It could be my BIOS isnt right (as the ed1 is an ISA card),
     dmesg:
        ed1: <PLUG & PLAY ETHERNET CARD> at port 0x240-0x25f iomem 0xc0000-0xc3fff irq 
10 on isa0
        ed1: address 00:00:b4:36:a5:04, type NE2000 (16 bit)
     bios:
        irq 10 allocated to ISA bus,
        PNP OS was off.  tried on, made no difference.
But I think even if the BIOS is wrong somewhere,
there's perhaps more to fix on FreeBSD side ?

Any Ideas ?     

PS I'ts not actually using 192.168.53 but 192.168.??, 
but changed for email to protect `the innoocent` :-)
