Hi,
I had this problem once, it seems that the motherboard doesnt really
support PCI devices, maybe just emulate them, and doesnt have a PCI chip
processor on board, it happened with a Pentium chip over a viper card, maybe
thats the cause for freebsd cant find it, I had to use an ISA card in that
computer in order to connect it to the net.
Ales
