Looks like I'm out of luck in the immediate future, but the problem
is known:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/32157

After rooting inside the box to verify chip sets, this PR is exactly
my problem. So, I either buy a cheap card and forget the onboard, or
wait until this can be done. Oh well. Thanks for the help folks. :)
