I was never able to get mine working under 4.X (4.7 was the last I tried).
Under 5.1 it works flawlessly:

FreeBSD gandalf.orthanc.ab.ca 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #1: Mon Aug

Perhaps not the answer you wanted, but at least you know there is hope.
(Maybe you can install 5.1 on a spare junker.)
