Hi, All!

After installing FreeBSD 7.1 I've got problem with my network card.

[root ~]# uname -a
FreeBSD  7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #1: Thu Apr  9 13:34:46 NOVST
2009 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPTOP  i386
[root ~]# pciconf -lv
... cut ...
none3 at pci0:6:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x014b1025
chip=0x168414e4 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    class      = newtwork
    subclass   = ethernet
[root ~]# dmesg | grep "bge"
[root ~]# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
         inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

I've compiled my kernel with "device miibus" and "device bge" (my
kernel config is GENERIC without FireWare & RAIDs).

What does it mean? Is somethere driver for this card?

Sorry for my terrible English =)
