The generic kernel that boots with FreeBSD has support for most of the cards that FreeBSD support. It is possible that the card may be supported, but that you may need to enable it in the kernel. check out /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT, and see if your card is listed. You may also want to ask in freebsd-hardware. It may be easier to look for another card which works with FreeBSD. If this is at work then see if you find another card sitting around or see if your hardware guy can exchange the card. If this is home then you may just check the kernel and ask in freebsd-hardware, but if it is not supported then you will have to get another card.
