i, on the other hand need a different line:

kv_bsd# tail -5 /etc/rc.conf
usbd_enable="YES"
ifconfig_bge0="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
hostname="kv_bsd"
tcp_extensions="YES"
kv_bsd#

there is a commmand called dmesg that shows you what your OS does during
startup.  i did the command piped to "bge0" to find what this is about

kv_bsd# dmesg | grep bge0
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5705 A3, ASIC rev. 0x3003> mem 0xff9f0000-0xff9fffff 
irq 4 at device 0.0 on pci2
miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:11:d8:22:c9:91
bge0: link state changed to UP
kv_bsd#

if i were you, i would try the command "dmesg | grep Ethernet" and
see what you get
