The FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html#INSTALL-NICS)
lists your NIC as supported. As far as FreeBSD is concerned, you are
on a Ethernet; your cable modem never comes into play at all.

The only question is whether you have a static IP address or use
DHCP. So, do you know which it is? If you are static, you can go into
/stand/sysinstall and to post-install configuration for networks. If
you want to do it the 'hard' (i.e. do what /stand/sysinstall is up to
behind the scenes) way, just ask.

OTOH, if you are on a DHCP net... things are a bit tougher.
