This NIC should be supported by the nfe driver, which has been committed to 
CURRENT. 

Most likely you need the ciphy.patch from  
http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html 
to make it work

Without access to this particular hardware, or a patch submitted with 
the PR - there isn't much we can do at this point.  nve(4) is based on 
a binary blob, and has been succeeded by nfe(4) in FreeBSD 7.0 and later.
