It's very relevant emailing you

My name is Ziad Fazah.Indeed, I have already emailed you twice,
concerning the non-possibility of Freebsd installation version 4.7. But
after having installed Freebsd version 4.9, I got disappointed at
Freebsd Kernel, because it didn't recognize my sound card and the
ethernet controller.Thus, Iam asking you, whether there have been new
switches on version 5.1 , referring to its kernel. Unfortunately, I
couldn't install it, due to the fact of having stopped immediately by
announcing: Unknown cards. Thus, I checked out all irqs, and afterwards,
I realized that my network card and the network sound hadn't been
recognized by Freebsd. What a deception!! In anyway, I shall be awaiting
a response from you as soon as possible, and thanks a lot for your
understanding.
Yours Faithfully,
Ziad Fazah

The GERNIC kernel doesn't detect any soundcart. You have to build you
own version that does. You can read how to do this in the FreeBSD
handbook (www.freebsd.org/handbook). Its to book to read if you have a
problem with something.
About hardware support: not all hardware is supported. If you ethernet
card doesn't work and you didn't cut any out of the kernel, then its
proberbly not gonna work. www.freebsd.org has a link on the top rigth
that tell you what hardware is and what is not supported.

No body have told you that FreeBSD support all the availeble hardware.
I'm sorry that you see it like this, but it far from the truth.

fbsd_user
statement to your kernel source and recompile your kernel. I do not
know why this statement has not been added to the generic kernel.
To get your pc to find your Nic cards try adding device puc
statement to your kernel source and recompile your kernel. Some
older PC bios have trouble figuring out PCI Nic cards irq's. You can
also try changing your Bio setting to disable plug-n-play option.
Also be sure no Nic card is in the number 1 PCI slot, that's the
slot closest to the power supply on most motherboards.
Read the FBSD handbook for instructions on how to recompile your
kernel.
