This looks like Marvell Yukon 88E8072 Gigabit ethernet controller.
It's not yet supported by msk(4) and needs more work to support
Yukon Extreme and Yukon Supreme prior to adding the hardware to the
supported list. I don't have that hardware so I'm not sure when the
support code would be written though.

AFAIK Marvell used to release binary drivers for FreeBSD. I guess
you can use them until msk(4) has a support code for 88E8072.
