Realtek-based network cards are the bane of any OS, but they especially seem to be a problem on FreeBSD. They are the lowest of low end cards, and any simple google search will unearth dozens of problems found with them. Just search the freebsd-questions message archive! I have one in my server that I use as the local connection (I have two cards, one for the outside world and one that connects my internal network). I seem to recall my own problems getting the realtek to work, and I'm not sure of my workaround. But one that seems to have an excellent track record is to disable plug-n-play at the bios level. Here's a short answer that says as much:
