The first and third appear the same. Use the second
form.

I'm not surprised you're having problems. You have a
(relatively) old version of FreeBSD (which is okay)
but there have been at least four(4) versions of this
card since it was introduced by Linksys, and you have
what looks like a very new card. The downside is that
the drivers are not compatible.

I think the LNE100TX support (pn) you see on -your-
version of FreeBSD is for the PNIC chip -only-.
