It's not a matter of rejumpering the card, it's matter of reconfiguring the kernel to match whatever the card is set to: 1) You *ask* it what it is set for, probably using a floppy that came with the card. 2) You *tell* the FreeBSD kernel's if_le (Lance) driver what the other program told you by booting "-c" and typing "visual" at the prompt.
