This is the kernel with the fix, Generic didn't work, where it had in 3.x.
FreeBSD jayk-bsd1 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Tue Mar 28 03:10:11 PST 2000

>Description:
I was using FreeBDS 3.x (3.3-RELEASE and 3.4-RELEASE worked, not sure I got 3.2-RELEASE configured, 3.4-STABLE panicced often. These were all GENERIC kernels, once the panics started I gave up on building my own kernel). My network card was de0, and it worked. I think it is a Digital 21143, in a Compaq Presario  5600i.

Upon upgrading to 4.0-Stable, the network card stopped working.
Upon investigation I found that the driver now claiming it (in still a GENERIC kernel) was dc, not de, which has the same description in the config file, except that it uses the mii shared bus or somesuch.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get an Intel 21143 or whatever it is I have. Install FreeBSD 4.0 and/or upgrade to 4.0-Stable.
>Fix:
Don't use GENERIC kernel, where 3.x GENERIC worked fine. Configure the dc driver out of the kernel, and de ends up taking it fine.

 This sounds like it might be the same as
 kern/17829 : The dc driver is seriously broken
