I have almost finished a driver for the chip under 386bsd,
and it should be easy to port it to FreeBSD.

The driver works with a PCI autoconfiguration module,
which uses vm_map_find() and pmap_enter() to map the
pci devices to kernel space and physical memory.
I hope, that these functions are available in FreeBSD too.

The driver should be available in about one week.

(Beta testers needed :)
