Hello,
I just did a quick search on yahoo and it appears to
be an Nvidia chipset. There was just a question on
the mailing lists about a smiliar chipset.

The original subject was "nVidia chipset - ethernet
support?" I still have a few of the responses in my
in box and I would be more than glad to forward them
on to you.

FYI: its located in the ports collection "nvnet"
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=nvnet&stype=all
More information can be found at:
