Intel EtherexpressPro 10/100 is very good and well supported on FreeBSD.
The TULIP cards - de driver - DE21x4x chipset are also good, but there 
are so many variations that it is possible to get one which has problems 
with the driver.  I have de cards from Alloy, an Australian manufacturer, 
and they easily achieve 10 Mbps transfer rates on my network (which 
happens to be thin-net 10-Base-2).  I'll be buying more Alloy cards.
