I don't think it's in the GENERIC kernel (although it used to be).

Your CD contains the sources for FreeBSD.  You can use those to prepare a
custom kernel.  Add a line like this to its configuration (maybe in the
section about PCI Ethernet NICs):

	device pn0            # Lite-On 82c168/82c169 (``PNIC'')

There are instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html or in
/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html .
