Ethernet cable is plugged in!  FreeBSD recognizes it but fails to connect, a 
bug shared with DragonFlyBSD and OpenBSD; OK with NetBSD, Linux and Haiku.

That is for MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard.  On MSI Z68MA-ED55(B3) motherboard (my 
other computer), Realtek Ethernet works fine with FreeBSD.  I just 
built/installed devel/git from FreeBSD ports on that computer.

I looked at your link, but it was from Time Warner Cable webmail interface, 
links tend to be distorted there.

It's much easier to respond to mail with mutt, msmtp, mpop and vi than from 
webmail interface.

Now I am again in FreeBSD Cinderella mode with wi-fi connection.

I didn't realize Haiku build would require downloading anything further during 
the build.  Any way to make a fetch list in case FreeBSD wi-fi connection goes 
down?

I do look forward to exploring Haiku ports, figure it would be better than 
NetBSD pkgsrc.
