Reinstalling probably broke your ifconfig_xxx lines in /etc/rc.conf. Go back in there and verify that they are sane. > Also how do I install a window manager?

Install the enlightenment port (in ports/x11). 2. Modify .xinitrc (if you use `startx') or .xsession (if you start xdm on system startup) and add `exec enlightenment' to the bottom.
