Kernel config includes "controller pci0" and "device xl0". When pci probe reports the VGA and SCSI cards, it fails to notice the card. No mention of "xl0: not found", just no mention at all. The instructions in the 3C900B box said the (Windows) driver had to be installed before the card is inserted. However, in a FreeBSD environment, no help. How could the preexistence of a driver without the hardware be any help here? If desired, I can produce dmesg and config. Just hope maybe somebody can make me go "Duh!" about something obvious.
