Boot under DOS, and run the utility provided with the NIC, and do a "view settings" or whatever. Check the IRQ. Oh, is it 3? Set it to 5. Reboot FreeBSD. Ohhhh it works. Question for the FreeBSD team... it is said somewhere that the soft config was taken out from the driver because there where conflicts in some cases... But could the driver not at least check that the settings on the board match those in the kernel, and if they don't, say so [and eventually say what to do]?
