Make sure the IRQ (Interrupt) is set at the same thing which FreeBSD is probing it at. I think FreeBSD defaults to irq 5, address 0x280, d8000. If you: 1. Boot a DOS disk. 2. Update the NIC to that irq/address. 3. Save 4. Reboot ...should be fine. ...also make sure the BIOS doesn't have that irq reserved for something else (PCI...).
