Hi, I've just added the following to the Wiki FAQ for future reference.
(Although I suggest you just try to find another NIC - you can find PCI NICs in old PCs from days before motherboard-integrated NICs, or I've had 3Com 3C905's off eBay in the past for only £0.99 delivered - and then be able to run a pure free-software system.) Q. Why is my network card not recognised? A. If the NIC or its driver requires non-free firmware blobs, Debian cannot ship these in the main archive. And there is also no mechanism in kFreeBSD to load non-free blobs from a separate package, e.g. from /lib/firmware/ . Some of the unsupported NICs are: * bce: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706 1000Base-SX * bce: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706 1000Base-T * bce: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-SX * bce: Broadcom

instructions at: http://bugs.debian.org/642468#10 (You can use "apt-get source kfreebsd-9" to get a recent kernel, instead of the wget command line suggested there).
