To work around this issue, disable MSI-X by default on this card. This is done by having msix_disable default to 2, which means "auto-detect". The user can still override this to either 0 or 1 as desired. Since these are slow (1Gbps) Ethernet ICs used in low-end systems, it's unlikely this will cause any practical performance issues; on the other hand, the card not working by default likely causes issues for many new FreeBSD users who find their network port doesn't work and have no idea why.
