There are two main problems. 1 - you need to ensure that the board you are using is one of those supported - see 2 - if your board _is_ supported, it needs to be at the 'default' that FreeBSD expects it to be. If it isn't, you need to (while using the install procedure) go into the 'Visual (Full Screen) Configuration' and select the card in the 'Network Card' section (I think it's called) and change the parameters there to what your card is actually set at.) e.g. My DEC DE-203 is on IRQ 15 (5 is default) and IO 340H (300H is default). Once you're past these two 'hurdles' you should be off and running. If this is not enough information, then please feel free to add more comments to this list. I'm nearly gone home for the day.
