Hello,

I used that card in 2.2.2. (My first FBSD install!) As I remember, I
had to run a 3Com DOS utility to set the physical parameters manually.
Then I configured FreeBSD to use those settings.
I would think later versions would support that card, as well. You
probably just need to do what I did. If you don't have the 3Com disk,
you can download what you need from their site.

HTH,

Stheg
