First of all,thank you all for your time!

In fact,the network card is NE2000,and the situation
occured due to that I pressed ctrl-alt-delet keys when

the FreeBSD upgrade  is in progress,(The habit of
pressing
ctrl-alt-delete is due to the long time use of
MS-windows,you konw,MS-Windows halts very often! )

and the output of "ifconfig -a "is as the following:
____________________________________________
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu
16384
	inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
	inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

	inet6 fe80::a09f:59e1:68e7:baa%faith0 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x5

As you can see,the ed0 interface didn't appear on
this!
and when I booted from the kernel.GENERIC,I  still
cannot use the network.

Thank you!
