Try dmesg | grep ed0
to see if FreeBSD found the ed0 interface on boot.
Or try dmesg | grep address
to see if it found some other ethernet interface.
There is no device node in /dev for any ethernet card, so don't
expect to find it (and you don't need to create it).
You might also want to check irq's with
dmesg | grep irq
or
vmstat -i
to see what irq's are in use; you may have an irq conflict with
that card or a memory address conflict.  You can change the irq
and memory address FreeBSD will look for, for a particular driver
like ed0, with UserConfig on boot (boot /kernel -cv).

But I am now trying to add the internal lan to more unix/win machines.  When the machine boots (or when I run ifconfig directly) it says interface ed0 does not exist.  I notice that I don't have /dev/ed0.  What do I need to mknod this on:  owner, group major/minor number?  Or is something else wrong?  I also have several other ethernet boards I can try if this card is not good.  I am ready to try a vx0 card 3c595.  I am using a kernel that I have build that includes the device drivers for these ed0 and vx0 boards.  The /etc/rc.conf file has these parameters:
