I got found the driver on Intels website and it a BSD license. The
driver I found is a bit newer that the one in FreeBSD but I would guess
they have the same license... The driver can be found at
ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/4105/eng/em-1.4.10.tar.gz

I guess it would be a good idea to include the LICENSE file in the
FreeBSD tree since the README refers to it, but the license is
actually in the source files so I guess it is not that important.
