Intel Ethernet card not being detected

I can recall from some older postings (and the archives. Hint, hint ;-) that
this can be worked around by disabling ACPI.

Okay, that's your Intel NIC that is not detected (yet ;->

Add the following line to struct fxp_ident fxp_ident_table[]
(in /usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c)

    { 0x1051,	-1,	"Intel 82562ET (ICH5/ICH5R) Pro/100 VE Ethernet" },

and rebuild your kernel. This has already been added to -CURRENT, so you
don't have to file a problem report.

P.S:
0x1051 are the first four letters of the chip id in the pciconfig output.

-1 matches all chip revisions, i.e. if special hacks for a specific
revision (0x02 in your case) were necessary, the would be an extra line
for that particular chip.
