you must be using the net45xx, net48xx or wrap images. they all dont have
the ed(4) driver which the NE2000 requires. the generic-pc image may have
it, though i'm not too sure.

you'd need a freebsd system to rebuild the kernel. then once that is
rebuilt, you could replace the kernel.gz on the image with a stripped,
gzipped kernel with the ed(4) driver.
