intel etherexpress pro/10 not probed

[michal novacek]

hi,

i got intel etherexpress pro/10 combo card, which i got from old server, 
but i can't get it probed in my home computer. i guess it's not the hw 
prblem of the card because the link light switches on when i plug tp cable 
in it.

during boot, i got the following:
...
atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 ATA controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 7.1 on 
pci0

[root at pooky boot]# pciconf -vl
...
none2 at pci0:12:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x12268086

    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82596 EtherExpress PRO/10'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet
...

it seems to me, that everything is ok, bot i can't figure out how to make 
the system load the appropriate driver. from hardware notes, i suppose that 
the driver (module)should be ex -- even man 4 ex lists this card, but i do 
not have this module in /boot/kernel/ and compiling it into kernel doesn't 
change anything (it's still not detected :-{) i'm using freebsd 5.0- 
release.

thanx for any opinions.
