This is your sound card and should work fine if you just 'kldload snd_ich' I 
believe.

This is your modem and it is some sort of winmodem.  I'm not sure if there are 
any ports that support this modem for FreeBSD.

Not sure what this is.  The class code is for an "ethernet controller, other", 
and the closest ID in pci_vendors is:

        4220    PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

So this is probably your wireless card.  Not sure about your SD reader as I 
don't see it in your PCI device list.

You should be able to build mico from ports (ports/devel/mico) just fine on 
either 5.x or 6.0.

Well, not sure what to tell you there as I can't make enough out of this to 
know exactly where the SD card reader should be.
