Looking through the dmesg output, there are a number of <unknown card>
devices.  At a guess, I would suggest that your NIC is one of these.  You
could try identifying which by the PCI ids, and then try adding that PCI
id to the fxp source files and rebuild the kernel.  If it works, send-pr a
patch.
