if I can recall correctly, that board can be either PnP or jumperless. 
download the dos program from intel, and set the board to where you
want it.  PnP is great for PCI, but sucks for ISA, imho.

I've done this with all my isa network cards and never had a problem
with freebsd or any other OS for that matter.
