Check the output of `dmesg', to see whether the kernel has recognised
your NIC. If it has, you then have to add a few lines to /etc/rc.conf.
eg. If your network device is "ed0", you then add:
network_interfaces="lo0 ed0"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.163.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
These override the defaults kept in /etc/defaults/rc.conf (which
correspond to the example round in most current texts).
Cheers.
