I had the same problem with a 3c509TPO a while back. Going into the mother bios and saying specifically that IRC 10 was used by ISA fixed it for me. It's also possible that the card is now convinced that it's supposed to be somewhere else. I think we had to reset a card at work once with the DOS utility on a win95 box, then put it back into the FreeBSD machine. I've also had problems before if the motherboard bios is set to "plug and play OS installed". Hope this helps.
