Dear James,
I've overlooked that you didn't cc questions at freebsd.org. Because if
this I forwared my reply to you and the list. I have two reasons for
this. 1) Others could also help you. They may need the information you
have provided. 2) Other could also learn from this.
Alex

(Is it ISA or PCI?)
I bleave, from what i have read, that you don't requere the port you
installed. Leave it for now.
What have you done to get it working? (Read documentation, commands
entered)
