Either update your source to stable/8 or patch your source tree with back-ported re(4) driver for 8.2-RELEASE like the following. 1. Fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/8.2R/if_re.c and copy it to /usr/src/sys/dev/re directory. 2. Fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/8.2R/if_rlreg.h and copy it /usr/src/sys/pci directory. And rebuild your kernel and your controller should be recognized in next boot. > --WjW
