To be more specific, this is what I have loaded on my FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE
laptop with AC97 sound:

Make sure you've got all the ICH (and possibly I2C) stuff in your kernel.
Here's the pciconf -lv for my chip, just in case you're curious to see if
they're identical:

pcm0 at pci0:31:5: class=0x040100 card=0x02221014 chip=0x24858086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82801CA/CAM (ICH3-S/ICH3-M) AC'97 Audio Controller'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = audio


Good luck!
