After struggling with 3Com cards I finally got fed up and bought a couple of 
SMC Etherpower PCI cards.  I plugged them in and they auto configed at boot 
perfectly.  They even autodetect the media.  I've had problems with PnP on 
these cards with Win/NT machines so I was ready for another struggle with 
FreeBSD 2.1.5.  Not so, they work like a charm.

Thanks,

Craig
