Hi,
  Ok hit my head on a wall time ....

Yep of course the kernel will not configure the second ether3 podule ;-)

The mainbus does not support star configurations e.g.

ea* at mainbus0

(This is something I need to work on).

As a result all the release kernels are compiled with

ea0 at mainbus0

in the configuration file. This means that only ea0 will be attached to the
first ether3 podule found.

What you need to do is rebuild your kernel will the extra line

ea1 at mainbus0

added to your kernel config file. This will mean that ea1 will be attached to a
second ether3 podule if present.

If you already have your own compiled kernel, add this line, config it, make
depend and then make it (will not need a make clean as the only file that will
be changing is ioconf.c which will be recompiled anyway).

Cheers,
				Mark
