For sure you will be wanting to utilize that on-board Intel CSA 82547EI
Gigabit Ethernet Controller, but so as to get it running and online, I
suggest you disable it in the BIOS, and see if that lets you get up and
running.  If so, then  insert any 'commodity' NIC (dumb 'ol
Realtek's are cheap and cheerful) and get online so as to get updates,
packages, and ports brought current.

The BSD's have reported a problem now and then in supporting some GigE,
controllers, though I see nothing specific to the one you have.

Presuming you can get it running with another NIC, I recommend cvsup'ing
to HEAD, (always at least slightly nwer than the ISO CD) doing the full
'make' cycle (less /usr/src/Makefile - comments show the options).

- then seeing if you can re-enable the onboard GigE controller.
