A small correction, the FreeBSD driver is named "ex" not "iy".

The EtherExpress PRO/10 and PRO/10+ are both Intel i82595 based.
This chip is mentioned in both, the NetBSD iy manpage and the FreeBSD
ex manpage, but iy only works with the EE PRO/10 card while ex
supports the PRO/10+, too.

Intel mentions the ISA PRO/10 and ISA PRO/10+ always together on their
support pages.  They even provide the same dirvers and tools for them,
Unfortunatly I wasn't able to find any Information on the differences
of the cards.
