Code: 
none0@pci0:1:5:0:       class=0x000000 card=0x00002028 chip=0x01851317 rev=0x11 hdr=0x00

Can anyone tell me what driver I need to use, and how to install it for this card?
It say Linksys LNE100TX on the card itself, however I have another LNE100TX in the machine running on dc0 that the machine (FreeBSD 9) added itself after a reboot. I've been seaching for days on the internet for any indication of how to get this card working so I can use this machine as a router/firewall for my network, but have hit digital stone walls at every turn.

That looks like one of a zillion DEC / Intel 2114x clones. That particular device ID doesn't seem to be recognized by the dc(4) driver.

As a quick test, you could build a new kernel and reboot after changing the line
Code: 
#define      DC_DEVICEID_AN985       0x1985
to
Code: 
#define      DC_DEVICEID_AN985       0x0185
in /usr/src/sys/dev/dc/if_dcreg.h, and see if the card is recognized.

CAUTION: If your working dc0 interface is a device 0x1985 part, it will disappear, regardless of whether the above change activates the missing interface or not. You'll need to have a plan to recover from that (generally, booting from /boot/kernel/kernel.old), but I wanted to warn you in case you're trying this remotely, where a loss of the currently-working interface could be a problem.

If the above change gets the new interface recognized and working, you should submit a PR to have the 0x0185 device added to the driver properly.
