Are you sure about that?

We have various generations of the Proliant DL360 (G2, G3,
G4 and G4p), and all of them have members of the Broadcom
BCM570x (5701, 5703, 5704, 5704C) onboard.  All of them
are supported by the bge(4) driver.  We're running 4-stable
and 6-stable (6.2-PRERELEASE) without problems.

We don't have any G5 machines yet, but I would be surprised
if they changed the onboard NICs to an entire different
family.

Well, I can confirm that the on-board controller in the G2,
G3, G4 and G4p works fine with FreeBSD -stable (4 and 6),
and it's indeed a CISS device.
