ok
installing NIC is not a big deal in BSD because most
of them are recongnized aoutomatically on install. You
should probably check out the compatibility list on
www.freebsd.org . if you need a tutoirial on how to
install a dsl connection with BSD to go daemonnews.org
. last i remember they had a good one. I used it and
it worked. If you are looking for some tutorials on
how to use BSD the handbook is the best place to
start. (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ )
well. that is all for now. 
i hope that was helpfull.
