It's there to make a point.  Do not buy asr hardware and expect it to
work on amd64.  The driver comes from the vendor, and the vendor hasn't
had any interest in supporting it since 2001.  There are many other
vendors who make much higher quality cards and who are actively
interested in supporting FreeBSD, so I recommend doing business with
them.
