Yea I found the same post, but perhaps this was fixed seeing as it was
back in 2004? Looking at the 5.3 Hardware compatibility list
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET) it
does list the sk(4) driver along with a number of SysKonnect cards,
just not this one.

Anyone here think it's worth to try it anyway, or is it pretty much a
guaranteed no go?
