I finally got the network card working. I had to configure the Kernel: 
device miibus
device dc

Then I rebooted. It didn't work. I got a diagnostic -
couldn't map ports/memory

A google search revealed the diagnostic means that
plug and play is enabled in the BIOS and should be
turned off. So, I turned it off.

After some interface configuration, It works!

Thanks for everybody's responses!! I joined the freebsd-questions list
