My card started working when i disabled ACPI.

Hmm - thanks for the suggestion, I should have tried this; every time
I've had ACPI enabled under Linux, it has broken something. However, I
have just tried booting with ACPI disabled with the FreeBSD boot disk
and the minimal installation that managed to get on my hard disk - the
result is that FreeBSD cannot find any drives! So, worth a try, but not
the solution.
Furthermore, I have now tried swapping the Realtek card for a D-Link
(DFE530TX) one. The problem persists...
Just a minor point - is 6 actually a stable version? I was wondering
whether I've gone and picked up a development version when I should have
been using 5.something.
Cheers
