Just the usual; make sure the green lights come on. Try a different
cable (is it the right kind of cable--crossover between two computers?)
Check dmesg to make sure both cards are properly found.
add gateway_enable=YES to rc.conf
ifconfig the cards
ifconfig ed0 10.10.10.1
ifconfig ep0 10.10.10.2
or whatever for you setup, ping to see if they work, check
ifconfig -au and netstat -rn to see what you got. Try adding a
default route on each to the other, route add default 10.10.10.2
on the #1 box and v.v.
It the cards are found and working and the cable's good, it should
be straightforward.

You could add more stuff in the ifconfig statements but it should
work anyway.
