I have the same motherboard, I had some issues with the card being detected on earlier versions of FreeBSD but on 5.2 its been working fine. I seem to remember the card not being autodetected but if I loaded the sk module manually it was detected right away. In 5.2 I just put "device sk" in my kernel and its working fine. It shows up as: skc0: <3Com 3C940 Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xfeafc000-0xfeafffff irq 22 at device 5.0 on pci2 skc0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940) sk0: <Marvell Semiconductor, Inc.
