This problem might just be caused by a new vendor/product ID for an old 
product, in which case a simple driver update will fix the problem. What model 
of NIC do you have and what is its vendor/product ID? You can check the 
vendor/product IDs yourself if you feel like diving in. The attachment source 
is in src/sys/dev/pci/if_{m,}sk.c and the master list of PCI devices is in 
src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs.
