No wonder - your card uses Conexant chips instead of BrookTree chips.
The bktr driver won't work with that. See below.

The bktr driver works with BrookTree chips, the bt8x8 variants.
Your card have Conexant CX2388x chips. Unless something have changed
very recently, there is no driver for cx2388x chips in FreeBSD. This was
discussed on this list as late as September.

Well, you could write a driver?
If not, you will have to replace your card with one that is supported
under FreeBSD, if you can find one.

Good luck!
