What you want ot look for is an irq or i/o address confilict What type of card do you have and what are the settings? For example to configure an ne2000 card one could say check the settings from dos using the setup software that comes with the card. Here one can change the settings etc. Then after all this information is either remembered or written down one can boot Freebsd. At the boot : type in -c and go to visual mode Here one would check the network settings. For the device say ed0 usually 3 settings. i/o address irq and memory address. If these look good for your card exit out , finish boooting and run dmesg and see where a potential confilict can be. After you log in at command line type dmesg maybe add | more so you can page through it. I hope this helps you out. I'm a newbie at this stuff. However, I have gone through much of the same things and maybe I can help you out a little this time. Someone else may also respond who has more knowledge and better writting skills than myself. :-) Till then I'll keep chugging along and learning as I go.
