I found this in an archive:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=99903

I tried manually editing if_sk.c and if_skreg.h build/install kernel
(patch didn't work, possibly wrong version of file?), and then got
this in dmesg:

skc0: <D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xdfffc000-0xdff
fffff irq 17 at device 6.0 on pci0
skc0: unknown media type: 0x31
device_attach: skc0 attach returned 6

So then I did some searching for 0x31 and found this:

http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-43153.html

I added the lines for 0x31 and now the nic shows up in ifconfig.  I am
not home so I can't plug in a patch cord to see if it is fully
functional.

If this does work, how would I create a patch file?  I saved the
original files before editing.  I definitely don't want to claim
ownership of the work that went into this, I was just hoping to get it
into the 5.x tree so if I happen to CVSup, I don't need to redo this.
