3 PCI NIC's on OpenBSD 2.6(x86) sharing IRQ's



Hi,

I am adding another(third) NIC into an OpenBSD(x86) box that is 
running 2.6.

This will make three Intel 10/100 NIC's in this box.  They are all
PCI.

When I rebooted after installing the third NIC, dmesg shows that 
two of the NIC's are using the same IRQ.

Humm... I haven't done hardware since back in the "old" days, when it
was critical that nothing share IRQ's.

Is this still the case?

Is it OK that these two cards are sharing an IRQ?

fxp0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0 "Intel 82557" rev 0x05: irq 11, address ...
fxp1 at pci0 dev 15 function 0 "Intel 82557" rev 0x05: irq 9, address ...
fxp2 at pci0 dev 17 function 0 "Intel 82557" rev 0x08: irq 11, address ...

Thanks for any assistance!
