It's supported in -current, by the wm(4) driver. It's just another PCI
device ID added to the driver, really, so you could just add this in
to the driver's wm_products[] array:
{ PCI_VENDOR_INTEL, PCI_PRODUCT_INTEL_82541PI,
"Intel i82541PI 1000BASE-T Ethernet",
WM_T_82541_2, WMP_F_1000T },
There have been other improvements to the wm(4) driver since 2.0,
but it looks like all the critical bug fixes for it have been pulled
up.
