newbie ? Ehternet not showing

I've just installed BSD 4.4 However I was not presented with an option during sysinstall for using Ethernet. Only SLIP, PPP etc are listed. The light on my ethernet card is on, I can ping the loopback and when it boots I can see it listing realtek 8139 rc0 but no luck bringing up ed0 interface. Any feedback on what could be going on?

nevermind I found it...seems having plug&play enabled in an older BIOS keeps PCI devices from working properly.
