I don't know your level of knowledge, so don't be offended by my suggestions if you already know this stuff. First, you need to check that the card was detected during boot. as root, do "dmesg | grep em0" This will show a few lines beginning with em0: if it was detected. You didn't say what kernel config you are running. If you haven't created a custom kernel, then you're running GENERIC, which supports the Intel card you're trying to use. If it was NOT detected, then show us your kernel config. If you don't know what that is, as any user, do "uname -a" and copy the output here. If it DID detect it during boot, then grep em0 /etc/rc.conf Hope this helps
