That should be an fxp NIC. And should already be in the GENERIC kernel.
I've never had one onboard, only 3c905 look-alikes, which required
nothing special. Have always been happy with fxp NIC cards.

This is what "pciconf -l" says about my two fxp's:
fxp0@pci0:11:0: class=0x020000 card=0x000c8086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x08 hdr=0x00
fxp1@pci0:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x000c8086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x08 hdr=0x00

Am thinking you are lacking the "device fxp" line in your kernel config.
Try loading the kld version with "kldload if_fxp.ko" and see what
happens.
