Just an idea, but...

Does this card have a setup disk with it?  If so, try running it to reset
stuff...  The error is due to the fact that the card has entered some
power save mode.  The comments say (from if_ex_pci.c):

    /* Get it out of power save mode if needed (BIOS bugs) */
    if (pci_get_capability(pc, pa->pa_tag, PCI_CAP_PWRMGMT, 0, 0)) {
        pmode = pci_conf_read(pc, pa->pa_tag, PCI_POWERCTL) & 0x3;
        if (pmode == 3) {
            /*
             * The card has lost all configuration data in
             * this state, so punt.
             */
            printf("%s: unable to wake up from power state D3\n",
                sc->sc_dev.dv_xname);

Just a guess, though...
