I have a Dell workstation at my office.  It has an integrated NIC in the
motherboard that is a Intel 1000 mb.  I don't know if it's the exact one
you are purchasing but it works with FBSD 4.8.  Here's a clip from my
dmesg:

em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.5.31>

Cheers,

Drew
