This is FreeBSD though, which has drivers called sk and msk. If you check the man pages for those drivers, it even tells you the history of when those drivers were added to FreeBSD. I think that the two drivers support different chipsets, so neither is 'default'. msk(4) was added in 6.3, so backport to 6.1 might be possible - have you tried taking the driver from 6.3 and compiling it on 6.1? 6.1 is no longer one of the 'supported' branches of FreeBSD, you may consider upgrading to a version that is.
