Not to mentione FreeBSD drivers, but only finding an Ethernet

has a few KB at best; etc.

CF sockets usually can act as sockets for ATA/IDE compatible disk drives as well as for PCMCIA-like peripheral cards.

Also, there are some Ethernet interface chips that are designed to be memory-mapped. See, for example, the one by ASIX, which is often used in embedded systems because it can interface with pretty much any CPU.
