Hmmm.  Doesn't look like it is seeing anything for that card.
I just (recently a couple of weeks ago) installed 6.2 on a Dell 2950
that had:
bce1: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B1), v0.9.6> 

Note that that Broadcom took a 'BCE' driver not a 'BGE' driver.
It was in the generic kernel, no extra kld's of kernel builds.

Doubt that means much to yours, but, maybe a different thing
to look for.
