PHY is short for "physical interface" and is the chip on a network
adapter that actually modulates (and demodulates) the signal over the
cable, so there is no such thing as a "phy nic".  What you probably
have is an on-board nForce MCP2 network adapter, which as far as I
know isn't supported in any version of FreeBSD.  It would be easier to
answer your question if you provided some more information, such as
the output of 'pciconf -lv'.
