Dell 1955 Blade - Broadcom NIC not detected (BCM5708S)

[Conrad Burger]

I am trying to get FreeBSD to work on a Dell 1955 blade. Looks like
the NICs on the blade are not supported by the BCE or BGE driver.

On Linux the NICs are identified as "06:00.0 Ethernet controller:
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)"

>From "if_bce.c"
-------------------------
 * The following controllers are not supported by this driver:
 * (These are not "Production" versions of the controller.)
 *   BCM5706C A0, A1
 *   BCM5706S A0, A1, A2, A3
 *   BCM5708C A0, B0
 *  --> BCM5708S <-- A0, B0, B1

Is there any reason why the chipset is not supported? Is there anyway
of getting the BCE or BGE driver to work with this chipset? Will it be
supported sometime in the near future?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Conrad
