The fxp driver is located in sys/pci/if_fxp.c, which is why I asked
this question.  The card in question is ISA, not PCI, and I didn't see
anything is sys/i386/isa that referenced the Intel 82557 chipset.  If, 
as I suspect, the driver for the PCI card is incapable of driving the
ISA card, I'm interested in pointers for modifying another ISA network 
driver to support this card, like "if_ZZZ.c is an archetypical ISA
network driver, start with it, but look at the if_fxp driver too".  To 
me, that sounds more like a topic for freebsd-net, not -questions.
