Globalscale Dreamplug and 8.3 RELEASE

Hello. :) I'm using FreeBSD 8.3 RELEASE and attempting to get this 
running on my dreamplug. I've successfully gotten it to boot off of a 
usb stick (after many adventures) but I've run into a problem. It seems 
that mge1 is not found (the 2nd ethernet interface).

I really need this to work, so I did some digging on this list but it 
seems there's a .dts file needed. FreeBSD 8 doesn't use dts files as far 
as I can tell, though I could be horribly wrong there.

Can anyone point me to some patches which would get the 2nd ethernet 
interface to work?

As a related question, I'm noting some conversation by various 
developers about issues with arm...if there are any patches that 
experienced people could point me to that might get arm to work better 
for FreeBSD 8.3 that would be great.

Thanks in advance!
