If there is no 'network_interfaces=' line in your /etc/rc.conf, the line in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf will be used, which reads 'network_interfaces="auto"'.
This setting will enable all interfaces that have been enabled in the kernel.
Take a look at the output of 'ifconfig' and 'dmesg' - you should find the
device names of your NICs there. For example, on my machine, the output of
'dmesg' contains the lines:

rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0x6000-0x60ff mem 0xe0201000-0xe02010ff
irq 11 at device 9.0 on pci0
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:1c:d3:f0:83
miibus0: <MII bus> on rl0

and further down:

dc0: <Davicom DM9102A 10/100BaseTX> port 0x6100-0x61ff mem
0xe0200000-0xe02000ff irq 10 at device 10.0 on pci0
dc0: Ethernet address: 00:80:ad:79:2b:42
miibus1: <MII bus> on dc0

So, my two pci NICs have the device names rl0 and dc0 and I'd have to
substitute ed0 and ed1 with them (in /etc/rc.conf. Do NOT edit
/etc/defaults/rc.conf). lo0 is the internal loopback device.
