Reading the install docs is good for you!:)
You didn't do the network card install correctly. Freebsd detects your card automatically (99/100) times and then later in the install you have a choice of picking one and configuring it. So, it ISN'T hard.
As for the ports... there are around 4500 apps there, not sure how many debian has, i would guess around the same number.
