when you rebooted after installing the card did it show up in dmesg ? Check if the interface has been detected by #dmesg |grep rl ( rl if it is a realtek card or whatever the abbreviation is for your manufacturer ) If the card is there then all you have to do is use the ifconfig cmd to bring the interface up. To make this automatic edit rc.conf to suit your setup and it should be fine BTW which release/version are you using ?
