Well, you made a glance on the man page, but you didn't look.  Did
you?

Try again:

      device ex0 at isa? port? net irq? vector exintr
                 ^^^^^^

So at which bus is it?

Note also that PCI cards are 32-bit, and are usually configured by
just:

	device	ixp0

...since the PCI bus allows for a working device autodetection.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
