According to the README file for the new driver:
FreeBSD Cyclom-Y Driver (for FreeBSD 2.2.5 or later)
The Cyclom-Y driver included in the FreeBSD distribution does
not support the latest Cyclom-Y gear (8Yo rev. 6.02 and SM8/SM16 II).
In order to support these devices in your system, you must install
this driver revision.

from ftp.cyclades.com.
