What is really needed is to know who made the card? Who made the big chips on the card and what is their numbers? Fastest answer would be to stick it in your PC (sounds like its there already running under Windows) and boot FreeBSD and see what happens. Use "dmesg | more" to review what the kernel said while booting. This is what an Intel Etherexpress Pro 10/100 PCI (and other things) might look like (the fxp0 entires). Notice how most everything is on IRQ 15.
