I have the same mobo but I've never put extra NICs in it.
Have you tried it with just the built-in bge?  (I know it
works fine for me.)

defaultrouter="192.168.0.2"
ifconfig_bge0="inet 192.168.0.6 mtu 1492 netmask 255.255.255.248"

yields this:

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
         options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
         inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 192.168.0.7
         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
         status: active

and this:

Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            192.168.0.2        UGSc        2        2   bge0
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0       28    lo0
192.168.0/29       link#1             UC          1        0   bge0
192.168.0.2        00:10:c7:55:31:ab  UHLW        3       11   bge0    323

Early on there was a problem with the bge sensing the media properly
but that was fixed several months ago and it's all been fine since.

BTW, I've never tried the Promise controller.  Is yours working OK?
