Sorry, dont know, but a search through the archives might have the 
answer.  I suspect it wont be an issue 


Everything went fine even without reboot after make installkernel.

 i tried to recompile the kernel with the 4.x sources for the em(4)

 would have it, my attempt did not yield any success.

Support seems to be in HEAD and therefore 6.x already.  It looks like 5
has simply been missed.  I suspect all that is needed in the 5 branch
are the following changes, though that is untested:

I think the version in 7 and 6 relies on other changes in the 
tree.   Have a look at


http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-July/017292.html
http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/MFC-RELENG_5/patch-em

that takes into account those changes.

I had this same issue with an Intel Pro 1000 nic.  I just
downloaded/installed the current driver from Intel and all was good.  The
driver I'm referring to is here:

Indeed, the driver from intel worked like a charm... you may want to
download it from
ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/9159/eng/em-3.2.15.tar.gz since
intel's website breaks lynx or CURL...

Hmm, you can try asking on stable@ or current@ perhaps.  I'm not sure who the 
correct person to talk to about em(4) is these days.  I believe it is
