The 82257 doesn't do 100Mbit?  Um, no.  I have one on the motherboard of
my PPro200 and it *certainly* does 100Mbit.

THe 82258 is the Pro/100+, which has no functional difference to the
FreeBSD driver.

What version of FreeBSD is this?

You don't need to add the extra line.

This is the problem; the NIC requires a busmaster slot and the slot you
used is not BM.  You'll have to shuffle cards, but based on your current
loadout I don't see that happening.  Unless the VGA card is okay with
being in a slave slot.  Note that the kernel doesn't show the card at all
on the PCI bus, attached or not.

It has power, but no PCI interface.
