Enabling 2nd NIC for router function on FreeBSD

[Tyler Gee]

I was going to ask if you have verified that the NIC does in fact work.

In moving slots, try moving the working NIC to the slot that had the
not-working NIC.  If the card is supported (and it obviously is since
you are using one already) my feeling would be that it is either a bad
NIC or a bad slot.
