Old version used SysKonnect's Genesis and XaQti's XMAC II.  Version 
2.0 has Marvell's 88E8010.  They are *very* different.

If you are willing to try FreeBSD 5.1, SysKonnect has a driver on 
their website:

http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/freebsd.htm

I didn't try this at all.  So, please don't ask me any questions about 
it. ;-)
