I changed the kernel by modifying the original line: device xl to device xl0 at pci? port 0x1000 irq 5 iomem 0xe8014800 originally it was assigned to IRQ 10. I changed it to match the settings that Windows assigned. The card has no jumpers on it. I changed it in the kernel because it did not even show up under the GENERIC kernel using the boot -c utility. Now it shows up, although under 'Other Devices' as 'Unknown Card' but it is obviously recognized on boot. The other device on IRQ 5 is a firewire (IEEE 1394) adaptor. How would I disable it? It is not in the kernel configuration.

How did you change the kernel? Your ethernet card is being assigned 5 - freebsd is apparently not seeing whatever else is on 5 - usually 5 is used by a second parallel port - do you have a second one in there? The modem you mention wasnt seen because you have 2 serial ports already - you would have to disable one of them to use a modem at the same settings.
