And so this is where I could use the 'ip addr add ###.###.###.### eth0'
command if I wanted to make the linux box the router. And if I want to make
the BSD box the router it would be 'ifconfig ex0 ###.###.###.### -alias'

Well, I typed it into the BSD box and got an error message back:

ifconfig: SIOCDIFADDR: Can't assign requested address

Could it be that I got a bad card?
