that's apparently a SiS962 chip. This one is not (yet) supported in FreeBSD;
the MAC address is stored on an EEPROM that is shared with the IEEE 1394
port and needs a special access protocol. If you want to hack on the driver
yourself, a search for "sis962" and "sis900.c" or "sis900.h" on google
should get you the information what was changed on the linux driver to
support this particular chip. I _might_ find the time next weekend to
cobble together a patch you could try.

Wolfgang
