According to Google this card is also known as Intel PRO/1000. It should 
work with the em(4) driver.

4.11-RELEASE is the latest release of the 4-STABLE branch. There are 
only a few minor changes between the latest release and -STABLE in this 
case.

You should consider to use a more recent release, e.g. 6.1-RELEASE.
