Hello, everybody
Is there any limit as of how many interfaces can freebsd handle? Im trying to build a switch in a PC box, putting multiple NICs and some software... The issue is, even though all of the cards work correctly by themselves, once I put them together, it doesnt matter what slots i use, I can never make more than two of them work. For even though all the rest appear up as well, I cant ping neither them nor their peers (Im using crossover cables).
The software limit is 2^16-1. It sounds like you are having hardware issues. I'd tend to guess interrupt routing issues. I'd suggest posting details to freebsd-questions or possibly freebsd-stable.
