Hiya Guys

I've recently started "playing" with FreeBSD.  I use it at home on a pc 
for our ADSL connection, just for that added security. 
Worked fine with 5.2, except that my WiFi connection was a little buggy, 
so I decided to upgrade to 5.4

After installing 5.4, my  ed(4) card stopped working.  It's quite an old 
card, so I decided to upgrade it as well.
Got myself a new RTL8139D card, and installed it only to keep getting 
the error that it "couldn't map ports/memory".  The system has 2 other 
NICs in in as well,
A RTL8139A, and a Gigabyte Super 108 NIC using the ath(4) driver. 
Uninstalled the other Realtek Card, same problem.  Uninstalled the WiFi, 
same problem,
Uninstall ALL other NICs in the system and only leave in the 8139D, 
problem still persists.

Over to plan B, get another NIC from another unused PC.  This time it's 
an 8139C.  Same problem still. I'm really out of options.
Any way to resolve this issue?

I'm kinda desperate to get my system up and running again.

System Specs:
AMD Duron 700
Gigabyte GA-7IX Motherboard (quite old I know, but the PC just stood 
there doing nothing :)
3dfx Voodoo Banshee AGP Display (see M/B note)
RTL8139A NIC (dunno where I got this one)
RTL8139D NIC
Gigabyte GN-WPEAG Wifi NIC
128MB Ram
6GB HDD

Thanx for all the help.
