what network card is it? if you have not customised your kernel particularly
there is a good chance it will be recognised on startup. you can run
/stand/sysinstall if you don't feel comfortable about checking the output
of dmesg for the card name and then looking at /etc/rc.conf to see the entries
for your current card.

sample dmesg output

xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xf880-0xf8ff mem 0xfff7fc00-0xfff7
fc7f irq 9 at device 19.0 on pci0

sample /etc/rc.conf  

ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.0.3  netmask 255.255.255.0"
hostname="marbsd.tninet.se"
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
