Never managed to get that particular nic backported, but there is also a 3Com 
nic on there, which only needed changes in pcidevs and if_ex_pci.c

ppb1 at pci0 dev 12 function 0: Nvidia Corporation product 0x006d (rev. 0xa3)
pci2 at ppb1 bus 2
pci2: i/o space, memory space enabled
ex1 at pci2 dev 1 function 0: 3Com 3c905CX-TX 10/100 Ethernet with mngmt (rev. 0
x40)
ex1: interrupting at irq 12
ex1: MAC address 00:26:54:08:ca:f8
ukphy0 at ex1 phy 2: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface
ukphy0: OUI 0x0010a9, model 0x0012, rev. 1
ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

So I am happy for now :)
