Welcome to the world of DSL ("sorry, we do not support UNIX...."). The ISPs
are expecting you to be running some sort of Windoze or MAC.....

I'm not familiar with that brand NIC and probably neither is FBSD. You need
to determine what driver runs it and if it is supported in the hardware
list. Compatible NICs are fairly inexpensive and I'll bet most will work
with the modem. For $20.00 or less, you could be up and running with one
quick trip to the store if you want fast results..... or, maybe someone
knows this NIC and has your answer.....

If not, and it's not supported, I'd be heading for the store.
