I have a card similar to this. Run the DOS program and configure the card as your needs dictate. Write down the IRQ and port. You will need them later. Then you need to build a new kernel. The kernel is the binary that runs when the computer starts. These are the instructions: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook50.html#123 In you kernel you will see a line that looks something like this. You must know which device driver your card uses. My card (shown below) is an NE2000 clone which uses the "ed0" driver on irq 10 and port 0x300. device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr You need to change the appropriate line in your kernel config file for the settings that you wrote down when setting up your card under DOS. Then continue on with the kernel build procedure. Be careful not to mess with other lines in the kernel config file until you know what you are doing.
