Sure:
% dmesg|grep ale
ale0: <Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCIe Ethernet> port 0xdc00-0xdc7f
mem 0xfbec0000-0xfbefffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci2
ale0: 960 Tx FIFO, 1024 Rx FIFO
ale0: Using 1 MSI messages.
miibus0: <MII bus> on ale0
ale0: Ethernet address: 00:24:8c:a4:0a:b3
ale0: [FILTER]
ale0: link state changed to DOWN
% dmesg|grep atphy
atphy0: <Atheros F1 10/100/1000 PHY> PHY 0 on miibus0
atphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX, aut=

% devinfo -rv | grep phy
                atphy0 pnpinfo oui=3D0x1374 model=3D0x1 rev=3D0x9 at phyno=

                ip1000phy0 pnpinfo oui=3D0x90c3 model=3D0x8 rev=3D0x0 at ph=

It is a GENERIC kernel.
