I took the hack from http://kerneltrap.org/node/7135, that guy said

I apply the same idea to
http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/mykbsd60x86-8.12.1.3-src.tgz,
modifyed oem.c and oem.h,
oem.c
{ VENDOR_ID_MRVL, DEV_ID_MRVL_4361, SUBVENDOR_ID_ANY, SUBDEVICE_ID_ANY,
"Marvell 88E8050 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Ver. 8.12.1.3"},

"Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Ver. 8.12.1.3"},

After I compile it.
That was sufficient to make this driver to hook mine Marvell Yukon
88E8056, I can see it in ifconfig but i get:
"status: no carrier"
Tried to make the interface down/up, put away/back the network cable,
didn't help.. Still "no carrier".
But it works fine under M Windows (so the problem is not in network
cable or the network device)..
Any suggestions ?
Maybe I must load the Windows drivers with NDIS, but I'm afraid of
performance degradation/instability ?
Marvell Yukon 88E8056 are in the popular ASUS P5B and Gigabyte 965P-S3
motherboards.
You can find latest msk(4) at the following URL.
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/msk/msk.HEAD.diff
It supports the device ID you mentioned but I don't know whether it
works or not. ATM the driver has three known issues.
o poor Rx performance
I'm working on this but had no clue so far.
o 88E8055 hangup :
One user reported system freeze when msk(4) is loaded. Since I don't
have the hardware it's very hard to fix. :-(
o Manual speed selection doesn't seem to work.
It needs additional code for e1000phy(4) to fix.
You need latest CURRENT to aplly the patch. The driver will print very
ugly number sequnces but you can safely ingore it.
