Take a pair of boot floppies there and test it.  :-)
Once you get to sysinstall, just use <scroll-lock> and the arrow keys to
see if it was probed as "fxp0".

I do know the new Sony Vaio z505's have a built-in 10/100 Ethernet using
an Intel chipset.  FreeBSD finds it just fine as "fxp0" since it nicely
sits on the PCI bus, just as if you had an Intel Ethernet Express Pro/100
installed in a desktop.
