Did you add the device in /etc/rc.conf in the network_interfaces-line?
And was also a ifconfig_interface-line added?

Example (machine with two NIC's, running 3.1-RELEASE):

network_interfaces="ed1 ed2 lo0"
ifconfig_ed2="inet (ip-address) netmask 255.255.254.0"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.50.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"
