  Right.

>/usr/src/sys/pci/ :
>I put both if_fxp.c and if_fxpreg.h in this directory

   Right.

>/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/conf.c :
>I tried to add the driver to the system's jump tables,

   Wrong. Network devices are not block or character devices and thus do not
belong in conf.c.

   Add:

pci/if_fxp.c            optional fxp device-driver

   ...to /sys/conf/files or upgrade your sources to -stable (and get all the
bug fixes and other improvements as well as the fxp driver).
