When you reboot, do you see anything about the device? ie:
fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xdc00-0xdc1f mem 0xea000000-0xea0fffff,0xea100000-0xea100fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:e0:32:46
in the boot messages? Does it showup in a "ifconfig -a" ie:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fee0:3246%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 10.0.0.28 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:a0:c9:e0:32:46
