As I can see of your system message you are using the Realtek8029 card.
I asked the same question like you and got one positive reply by from
Andreas (val@wuggi.muc.de). He has the following message while starting
FreeBSD 2.2.2:

/kernel: ed1(NE2000 PCI Ethernet (Realtek 8029) rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:10

This leads to the conlusion that at least Release 2.2.2 supports this card.

I'm using 2.1.5 (I think Ishould upgrade now). Does anybody know how long an
update takes via ftp (my ISDN-modem does 7.5 KB/s on the mirror I use)?
