[Xorp-users] Problems with 'priviledged instruction fault' and 1.0RC

[Adam Greenhalgh]

No sorry, my FreeBSD knowledge isn't up to speed at the moment so I'm
not sure what would cause it to only detect 3 out of the 4 cards. The
other xorp guys might know. Perhaps one thing worth trying is to find
out is, is the 4th card not being detected because it is broken or has
an interupt clash etc or because there is a limit on the number of
interfaces. I know the xorp test bed machines have 9 interfaces, but I
can't remember if they did anything special with them (they are not
rtl8139's ).

sorry I can't be much more help.
