Thanks for the response Warren!!
Does the card show up in ifconfig?
No.
If not, do a 'pciconf -lv' to find out which particular hardware you have.
pciconf -lv says
Vendor: Marvell Semiconductor (Was Galileo Technology LTD)
Class: Network
Subclass: Ethernet
[please don't top-post, it makes responding more work]
What is needed is the line just before the Vendor, with the card and
chip IDs. Then compare it against the list of cards the FreeBSD msk
driver supports:

Well.... I managed to go to Marvell and get the FreeBSD 7.0 x64 driver and
use my USB key to get the driver into the machine:
Wait, the (binary|proprietary?) driver for FreeBSD 7.0 is almost
certainly not going to work on FreeBSD 8.0.
I then installed it using the instructions provided in the README.txt file
and now I can't even boot BSD any more :-(
I get total kernel panic with a complete system lockup.
I'm not sure if I will be able to recover from this or if I will need a total
re-install but so far BSD seems completely hosed on my machine :-(
You may be able to unload that kernel module before booting. If it's a
kernel module; don't know. The one Marvell card I have in a notebook is
supported by the open FreeBSD msk driver thanks to Pyun YongHyeon.
