Broadcom BCM57765 support?

[Paul Thornton]

Hi,

The bge driver doesn't support this chipset yet and I was wondering if
anyone has looked at implementing it.

NetBSD looks like it has support for it.  Now I may be wrong here, but
it appears that the BCM57765 is similar to other devices based on the
NetBSD if_bge.c source version 1.194.

I've tried applying the NetBSD changes to the FreeBSD bge source but I
don't know enough about the hardware and the code is different enough
that I haven't made it very far.  I can get a patched 8.2 kernel to
detect the device, complain that the ASIC is unknown, read the MAC
address correctly and determine there is link but as soon as you attempt
to ifconfig up the interface the machine locks up.

I'm happy to try and port this over but need a nudge in the right
direction from someone who knows the code.

Thanks,

Paul.
