Mabye change
device al0
to:
device al
... Dont know how much difference it will make (probably none).
Also,
Ive seen it where dmesg wont show the hardware but if you do 'ifconfig
al0' the device shows up
Good Luck
Andrew

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this
guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who heard Andrew Forgue
say...
This just in, I checked the disk and it has a README for freebsd
that says to download the driver from this link.
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/ADMtek/3.0
I got the two files, if_al.c and if_alreg.h respectively, and
placed them in /usr/src/sys/pci. I added
device al0
and also tried
device al0 at pci? port 0x300 net irq 10
to my config. The kernel builds fine, but the device is still not
detected on boot. The README says to use these drivers for 3.2 and 3.3 and
I'm running 3.2 Release. Any clues on where to go next?
