14e4 is the ID for Broadcom
16b4 is the ID for BCM57765, a NetXtreme Desktop/Mobile chip

http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/determine_driver.php has a list
of the BCM PCI ID values

There is a (frequently incomplete) database of user reported PCI values at
http://www.pcidatabase.com.  It has the BCM ID (14e4), but not your chip

Linux uses the tg3 driver for that chipset apparently, but I think thats
a general dumping ground for a lot of Broadcom products.  Not sure what the
appropriate FreeBSD driver to add the ID code to would be.
