I am trying out the live CD of pfsense.  The only problem I have is my third NIC, xl0, which is a 3Com 3c900-TPO Etherlink XL  does not link up.  I get a physical link light on the locally connected switch (an smc, dumb switch).  When I was running IPCop on this same box (with the same 3 NIC's) I did not have this problem.  The NIC and driver starts fine on boot up, according to dmesg.boot.  When I do an ifconfig -a, the NIC is active but not up.  The 3Com 3c900-TPO is supposedly fully supported by FreeBSD 6.0.
 
I've tried rebooting the box without luck.  So far everything else is great, I would just like this third interface to use for a wireless LAN.
 
Any ideas what the problem could be?
