Hi I have this old laptop which I would like to breathe some life into with a FreeBSD install, for starters I would like to enable the bge0 ethernet card to connect to a windows domain for internet, the gateway ip is 10.3.65.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.254.0, any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks much
 
The installer gives you a chance to use DHCP or static configuration for Ethernet, and bge(4) is included in the GENERIC kernel. Should be fine.
 
If the interface is bge0, just add to /etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
ifconfig_bge0="DHCP"
