My card configuration is 0x300 IRQ 10. Exactly FreeBSD kernel's requirement.

Well. win95 works very well.
: misconfigured kernel
Kernel detect my card. Its result are following
------
ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa
ep0: aui/bnc/utp[*UTP] address 00:20:af:1e:02:d0 irq 10
------
: conflicts with another device
Well. I think there isn't.
: the kernel simply won't support that device
By FreeBSD... FAQ
------
`ep'' driver
3com 3c509 (Must disable PNP support on card)
------
What's the problem ?
