Jamie,

If you can get ahold of the Windows drivers, and if NDIS is available 
for 4.3 (else you'll want to upgrade your OS to something more current) 
then you can you NDIS to set up Windows drivers.

I have blogged a howto at 
http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/05/freebsd-howto-ndisulate-windows-drivers/

Good Luck,
-danny
