My question is: which other PCI-Express GBit NIC's then
Intel's are
available on the market? I can't find others ...

Best regards,
Thomas.

"man -k pcie" on 6.2 gives:

bce(4) - Broadcom NetXtreme II (BCM5706/BCM5708) PCI/PCIe
Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver
re(4)  - RealTek 8139C+/8169/816xS/811xS/8101E PCI/PCIe
Ethernet adapter driver

There might be more in 7.0 but it is still downloading. 
:-(
And there may be PCIe devices that don't show up in man -k.
Is there a way to tell from dmesg or pciconf that something
is
PCIe rather than PCI?  The onboard stuff could be either.

AFAIK, PCIe devices show up as PCI devices to most drivers. 
I know that
'em' flavor drivers work fine with PCIe and that 'ath'
driver also does (in
this case, the ath is an 'express card' ... which I'm told
is another flavor
of PCIe).  I think the only oddball thing about PCIe is that
some flavours
of PCIe can show up as a USB device rather than a PCI
device.
