The intel nic is a fxp interface.Device ID 1050("Intel 82801BA (D865)
Pro/100 VE Ethernet")You probably need to use the latest driver from
current.To make sure you have the driver check if you have this line
 { 0x1050,	-1,	"Intel 82801BA (D865) Pro/100 VE Ethernet" }, in
if_fxp.c

Ditto with broadcom NIC
