You have a 3Com Etherlink 3c900, 3c905 or 3c980 card which was
previously supported in PIO mode by the vx0 driver. These cards are
now supported in DMA mode by Bill Paul's xl0 driver. If you change
every occurrence of vx0 to xl0 in your configuration (/etc/rc.conf or
/etc/rc.conf.local, and your kernel config if you have a custom
kernel), you'll be fine.

You did read the release notes before you upgraded, didn't you? ;)
