Oh, I forgot to add, this is what pciconf has to say about it:

none3 at pci2:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x002e8086 chip=0x100e8086 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82544XT PRO/1000 MT Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

A solution would be highly appriciated.

regards,
