Matthew,

I added the line, but it made no difference.

I am new to FreeBSD and it's tools, but looking at the output of 
dmesg (booting with debug) and pciconf, I think that there may be an 
irq conflict.  There appears to be a 4-function device at pci0, slot 
7 -- an ISA bridge, an IDE controller, a USB interface and a Power 
Management controller.  The USB interface shows up before the 3Com 
card in dmesg output and both seem to want irq 11.

I do not need the USB, so conceptually I could either disable it or 
point one of the two devices to another irq.  If either solution were 
possible and I knew how...

Thanks for your response,
David
