Subject:   P4/850 chipset onboard ethernet and sound

I recently stumbled across a Dell Precision 330 (P4, intel 850 chipset)  
that has an integrated 3c920 ethernet and AC97 soundcard.  Alas, FreeBSD
4.2-STABLE (as of 5 days ago) isn't particularly fond of either of these.

The 3c920 is detected, but is unusable:

xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xec80-0xecff mem 
0xfbfffc00-0xfbfffc7f irq 7 at device 7.0 on pci2
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: command never completed!

(Attempts to access the card result in a watchdog timeout, but the 
reinitialization of the card fails to do anything)

The sound card isn't detected at all:

pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2443) at 31.3 irq 10
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2445) at 31.5 irq 10

The pcm driver supports the AC97, but doesn't appear to know how to talk 
to this card.

If people have ways of making these devices work (preferably with -STABLE. 
:-), I'd love to know.

Thanks,

  -Dave
