I believe it was a "added" feature in 10 stable, my 11 stable
alc(4) man page lists the E2500 as supported.

     The alc device driver provides support for the following Ethernet
     controllers:

     o   Atheros AR8131 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8132 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8151 v1.0 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8151 v2.0 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8152 v1.1 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8152 v2.0 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8161 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8162 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8171 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
     o   Atheros AR8172 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
     o   Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet controller
     o   Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet controller
     o   Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet controller
