Comment (by korli):

 I tested a bit and no interrupt is ever received when using PCnet FAST III
 on VirtualBox 4.3.0.
 To complete that, I tried booting FreeBSD 9.2 and it wasn't successful
 either with this network device whereas all was good mit PCnet-PCI II or
 Intel PRO 1000/MT.

 To conclude, PCnet FAST III in VirtualBox doesn't work well at least with
 the pcn driver. Maybe it would be worth testing with another OS (ie
 Linux). I understand the le driver worked well with the PCnet FAST III
 device (in 16-bit mode). We could try to blacklist the device in the case
 of Virtualbox as a workaround, the fallback driver would then work good
 enough. Opinions?
