Hmm - thanks for the suggestion, I should have tried this; every time I've had ACPI enabled under Linux, it has broken something. However, I have just tried booting with ACPI disabled with the FreeBSD boot disk and the minimal installation that managed to get on my hard disk - the result is that FreeBSD cannot find any drives! So, worth a try, but not the solution. Furthermore, I have now tried swapping the Realtek card for a D-Link (DFE530TX) one. The problem persists... Just a minor point - is 6 actually a stable version? I was wondering whether I've gone and picked up a development version when I should have been using 5.something.
