What you want ot look for is an irq or i/o address confilict
What type of card do you have and what are the settings?

For example to configure an ne2000 card one could
say check the settings from dos using the setup software
that comes with the card.  Here one can change the settings
etc.

Then after all this information is either remembered or
written down one can boot Freebsd.
At the boot : type in -c and go to visual mode
Here one would check the network settings.
For the device say ed0 usually 3 settings.
i/o address 
irq
and memory address.
If these look good for your card exit out , finish boooting 
and 
run dmesg and see where a potential confilict can be.
After you log in at command line type dmesg maybe add | more
so you can page through it. 
I hope this helps you out.  I'm a newbie at this stuff.
However, I have gone through much of the same things and
maybe I can help you out a little this time.
Someone else may also respond who has more knowledge and
better writting skills than myself.  :-)  

Till then  I'll keep chugging along and learning as I go.
All thanks to FreeBSD
