Hi,
I set up FreeBSD 5.1 . But i can't use ethernet card which is 
SURECOM lan EP-320X-R.
I think it uses realtek chipset because while using with linux it loads 8139too module.
#shell> with ifconfig command:
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX;MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

#shell>with pciconf -l -v command (only about ethernet)


none1 at pci0:13:0: class=0x20000 card=0x132010bd chip=0x08031516 
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor= 'Myson Technology Inc'
device='803 series PCI Ethernet controller'
class=network
subclass ethernet

To set up my Ethernet card in /boot/defaults directory 
loader.conf file i did below changes.
in ******************NETWORKING DRIVERS****************
i changed
if_rl_load="NO" #Realtek 8129/8139 

as if_rl_load="YES" #Realtek 8129/8139 


Also

#shell> with dmesg command(only about ethernet)

Any idea why it doesn't work? 
Good works.
