I ran into the same thing but never resolved it. I just went out and bought two DLink $10 cards. I gave up on the 3Coms.

Subject: [pfSense Support] network interface mismatch

When installing pfSense 1.2.2 from the Live CD, if I use 2 network cards
of a similar type, for example 3Com 3C905B-TX or 3C905C-TX, I get "Network
interface mismatch -- Running interface assignment option" and right after
it only shows one 'xl0' interface.

I've had this issue every time I install pfSense using various 1.2 series
versions. I think I used to have it with IPCop too. I've tried the cards
in various PCI slots. I normally work around it by using two differing
3Com 3C905 variants, or perhaps a 3C900 and a 3C905 I can't recall. Today
I'm seeing it whilst using one 3C905B-TX and one 3C905C-TX (I can't
remember if I've gotten this particular card combination to work
previously).

The machine is a HP Vectra VL800, part number P3629AV, has a Pentium 4 CPU.
There's no BIOS update available from HP.

I've tried installing with and without PCI bus master in BIOS setup for
all PCI slots.

What's going on here? Is there anything I can do to work around it whilst
still using these cards as these types are all I have left in stock? Is
there any more info you need in order to help me?

Thanks
