Mine is:
wm0 at pci4 dev 0 function 0: i80003 dual 1000baseT Ethernet, rev. 1
wm0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 18
wm0: PCI-Express bus
wm0: 65536 word (16 address bits) SPI EEPROM
wm0: Ethernet address 00:30:48:32:13:10
ikphy0 at wm0 phy 1: i82563 10/100/1000 media interface, rev. 2

And, except a few strange thing in the pcap file on the sender side,
it seems to work fine (I'm also doing ssh, including some large file
transfers over this interface with tso enabled).
