Realtek RTL-8139 Nic & FreeBSD 5.2.1 Install

[Glyn Tebbutt]

Sorry for the confusion, doesn't help that my isp's sendmail is playing
up today, anyway, i didn't realise that during the install i had to
select my nic's module *reread it now and it is there* so im sorry for
wasting everyone's time, the install is going great now thou, just
downloading the system.
Thanks again and sorry also.
