You can configure nic using sysinstall command.

Method # 1
At sysinstall main menu select
Configure > Networking

Select Interface and press space bar > Select your ethernet card

It will ask for IPV6, if you need IPV6 say yes lese no

Next it will ask about DHCP server, again if you wanna IP address from DHCP server then just click yet else NO

If you selected No then you need to assign IP, Domain, hostname, Gateway, DNS and other information.


Method # 2
This need editing of configuration file. To setup up ip permanently open file /etc/rc.conf ; add/modify network entries:
And setup values as follows:
Replace lnc0 with your interface name, interface name can be Obtained using ifconfig -a command
