For example on my A7V8X (the SPDIF-version, 100 Mbit broadcom):
http://home.t-online.de/home/Alexander.Farber/OpenBSD/dmesg.newhope
"Broadcom BCM4401" rev 0x01 at pci0 dev 9 function 0 not configured

and when I dual boot FreeBSD 4-stable I get:
http://home.t-online.de/home/Alexander.Farber/FreeBSD/dmesg.newhope
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x4401) at 9.0 irq 10

on the FreeBSD 5.1 I had:
http://home.t-online.de/home/Alexander.Farber/FreeBSD/dmesg.newhope5
pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 9.0 (no driver attached)

I haven't tried the driver from http://people.freebsd.org/~dmlb/ yet
