Seems like you are trying the right things, but you didn't mention
patching the driver. The RealPort2 cards (models starting with CE2)
have never worked on FreeBSD. Scott Mitchell posted a set of patches
for the xe driver to support the CE2 cards and Warner losh posted an
additional patch to Scott's patch. These have NOT been MFCed, so you
will need to apply them to get a CE2 (or CE33) card to work.
But still no promises on this. Scott did this on documentation with no
card in hand. Some folks have reported success with this patch, though.
