Three of these chips are variations on the Intel chip (IBM's chip, etc.), and they work with the current FreeBSD driver without changes (either FreeBSD got lucky or there was some serious hardware testing). Each ENPIC class needs its own driver. Most likely, you have an ENPIC that isn't supported, and you will need to get documentation and a from it write driver.
