To get the built-in NIC working on a 325, you will need to rebuild
the kernel and comment out device pcn. You need device lnc, but pcn
has precedence over lnc.

While your at it, if your 325 is dual processor (most are) you can un-
comment options SMP and apic.

Instructions for recompiling your kernel can be found here:
