I changed the kernel by modifying the original line:

device	xl

to

device	xl0	at pci? port 0x1000 irq 5 iomem 0xe8014800

originally it was assigned to IRQ 10. I changed it to match the settings
that Windows assigned. The card has no jumpers on it. I changed it in the
kernel because it did not even show up under the GENERIC kernel using the
boot -c utility. Now it shows up, although under 'Other Devices' as 'Unknown
Card' but it is obviously recognized on boot.

The other device on IRQ 5 is a firewire (IEEE 1394) adaptor. How would I
disable it? It is not in the kernel configuration.

Thanks

changing your kernel wouldnt resolve an interrupt conflict if another
device is also set to that IRQ - you have to disable the conflicting
hardware, or change the irq on the card or something.  How did you change
the kernel?

Your ethernet card is being assigned 5 - freebsd is apparently not seeing
whatever else is on 5 - usually 5 is used by a second parallel port - do
you have a second one in there?  The modem you mention wasnt seen because
you have 2 serial ports already - you would have to disable one of them to
use a modem at the same settings.
