For PCI-E, I am using a Broadcom unit that works well under RELENG_6
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x4001> mem
0xfddf0000-0xfddfffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci2
miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
brgphy0: <BCM5750 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> on miibus0
brgphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,
1000baseTX-FDX, auto
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:10:18:14:15:43
bge0@pci2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x167714e4 chip=0x167714e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM5750A1 NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
