The device driver for the 3c590 (if_vx) didn't exist in FreeBSD until AFTER 2.1.0-RELEASE was cut (the logs say it came in at the end of January, the release was done December year). Either wait for the 2.1.5-RELEASE (in the next week or so) or use the 2.1.0-SNAP if you can't wait, as both have the relevant device driver in them.
