If it does not autodetect the card, netconfig will ask you to input the PCI
Device Number, PCI Function Number and PCI Bus Number.

So, before running netconfig, do:

hw -r pci |more

and look for something that says "etherner controller" or something like
that. It will list a bunch of info for the card. The first three items
should be what you need.
