I'm afraid that EtherExpress 16, EtherExpress Pro, and EtherExpress Pro/100 are all different incompatible cards. FreeBSD currently has drivers for the 16 (ix), and the Pro/100 (fxp), but not for the Pro. However, I'm finishing writing a device driver for the EtherExpress Pro, so the above statement may change in the near future. :-) I'm writing it on my spare time, and it's the first time I write a device driver, so I cannot guarantee when it will work, but if you want to help me test it, I will gladly send you a copy as soon as it is ready for testing (hopefuly, about a week, but again I cannot guarantee anything).
