Just a data point - under yesterdays' amd64 -current:

...
wm0 at pci0 dev 25 function 0: PCH2 LAN (82579LM) Controller, rev. 4
wm0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 20
wm0: PCI-Express bus
wm0: FLASH
wm0: Ethernet address 64:31:50:9b:7f:25
ihphy0 at wm0 phy 2: i82579 10/100/1000 media interface, rev. 3
ihphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT,
1000baseT-FDX, auto
...
