Yes, there are a number of newer cards not yet in Stable.
Once I have the ability to commit changes this should be
remedied, but meanwhile you can use MY driver which is
on the Intel website.  Go to downloads area, network connectivity,
then select server adapters, at that point almost any adapter
will do, you will then get an OS select menu, find FreeBSD,
and then you will see version 6.0.5, download that.

That driver will work with either 6.0 or 6.1, and it supports
all our PCI Express adapters including the new ones .

I hope to integrate the changes in our driver into STABLE
before 6.2.
