I guess it uses 88E8050. Would you post msk(4)/e1000phy(4) attach
message in dmesg?

The msk(4) requires new APIs in CURRENT to support MSI/TSO.
If jhb@ MFC his MSI support code and andre@ MFC his TSO support code
it could be done without much trouble. If they don't I have to write
a couple of code fragments which disables MSI/TSO which in turn takes
a time than that of usual MFC candidate.
ATM I think it takes 1 month provided that MSI/TSO code is MFCed.
