Project Evil works with this adapter (on my T41 at least). It's a work in 
progress on -current, but you can retrofit it to 5.x releases. See 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2188523+2195355+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/freebsd-current/20040125.freebsd-current 
and followups.

hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" in /boot/loader.conf, like someone
