You might not have much of a problem with only 2 NICs of the same type. We generally want to run on the Intel server-class add-in cards instead of the motherboard NICs that tend to be Broadcoms. It's a habit developed under Windows - I'm not sure if there is that much difference on Linux, but I have to identify the NIC one way or another and I'd like to find a reliable way to do it when swapping in pre-loaded drives. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
