Get floppies image from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.2-RELEASE/floppies (kern.flp & mfs.flp), fdimage them on floppies then boot your Thinkpad. Your nic should be recognised and then follow novice installation and specify ftp media to install packages (as for floppies, choose the closest ftp mirror for your country, list is on www.freebsd.org). 2- your card is not one of the above, go to http://www.jp.freebsd.org and have a look at PAO package.
