After building a new kernel, I've gotten FreeBSD to recognize my
ethernet card.  Now I suppose I have to edit specific files (or create
new ones) and put in my network information before I will be able to
use the card.

I have all of the info (ie. hostname, ip address, gateway, etc), but I
don't know where to put it.

Could somebody please describe which files need to be edited and what
needs to be put in them?

Thanks.
