No version of FreeBSD supports this adapter.  You might be able to get
the `ie' driver to talk to this, depending on the programming model.
Someone out there has written a driver specifically for the
EtherExpress, but I don't remember who.  (It would probably work
better than the ugly `ie' code...)
