Intel Nic

I have a Intel Pro/1000 MT card that i see at POST however, I guess the drivers are not installed? any suggestions?

BGE0 = on board NIC (working)
em0/1 = Intel NIC (not working)

bge0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01ad1028 chip=0x167714e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
em0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10798086 chip=0x10798086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
em1@pci0:4:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x10798086 chip=0x10798086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet

The correct driver, em(4) is clearly attaching to the hardware as shown in your output.
What makes you think the card is not working?

I am not able to assign the card

Please define 'not able to assign'. You mean at the CLI? Or inthe webgui you click the '+' sign to add a new interface and it's not there (or no + sign at all)?

Occasionally a NIC/driver will not initialise correctly. Check the boot log for errors:

 cat /var/log/dmesg.boot | grep em0

or something similar. You may see something like:

device_attach: em0 attach returned 6
