Does the card and the included drivers support regular IP networking assuming the proper fiber connections?

IP Networking is handled by the host OS. So "no". But Yes, you can use these for IP networking.

Is this supported by freebsd, any other *bsd, or more specifically pfsense?

This is a Tehuti 40xx chipset card. From Tehuti's site, this is what's supported:- Linux kernels 2.6.26 â" 3.x 32/64 bit- Windows 7 32/64 bit- Windows 8.1 32/64 bit- Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview 64 bit- Windows 2008R2 64 bit- Windows 2012/2012R2 64 bit- VMware Â®ESXi 5.1/5.5, VMware Â® ESXi 6.0- Mac OS X 10.10.3 or laterA link to the Tehuti chipset FAQ's:http://www.tehutinetworks.net/?t=faq&L1=5&L2=17&L3=34I've run this card on both Windows 7/10 and Linux 2.6.32 kernel with no issues. I'm going to guess it is not supported on FreeBSD but maybe the chipset info will help you find drivers.
