You should have said what that command was and maybe the ID of the 2nd NIC and some people like to see your boot messages (dmesg). You'll probably need to rebuild your kernel after editing its configuration file to tell it that you want to use that NIC. That's described in the Handbook (freebsd.org and maybe on your disk). There's a small chance that you need to edit /boot/kernel.conf as it is able to disable drivers with a line like "di ed0".
