Intel EtherExpress Pro cards use the fxp(4) driver.  That's standard
in the GENERIC kernel, or if you're using a customized kernel config,
just edit it to include the miibus and fxp devices.  Having obtained a
kernel with appropriate support, power the machine down, put the card
in and reboot.  Check the dmesg output (/var/run/dmesg.boot) to see if
your card has been detected.  Then adjust the network settings by
editing /etc/rc.conf and either reboot or run ifconfig(8) manually to
configure the new network interface.  sysinstall(8) isn't the tool for
thins job.

	Cheers,
