You've got some choice at this point though 1 option is probably a little
unattractive.

Packet Engines GNIC/GNICII devices.
	- Single source (PacketEngines; http://www.packetengines.com/)	
	- no driver in any FreeBSD source tree.
	- 2.2 drivers at ftp://ftp.scl.ameslab.gov/pub/drivers/
	- Webpage at http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/Projects/Gigabit/

Alteon TIGON 1/TIGON 2 devices.
	- Multiple sources.
	  + Alteon AceNIC (Tigon 1 and Tigon 2)                  
	  + 3Com 3c985-SX (Tigon 1 and Tigon 2)                  
	  + Netgear GA620 (Tigon 2)
	  + (others)                              
	- driver in -CURRENT
	- 2.2 and 3.0 versions available at
	  http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Alteon

Choose wisely.
