>Description:

I just loaded FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE on an HP ML110 G5 server, it did not recognize the
onboard network adapter.  I opened the case of the computer and read the top of the
network card chip, it has the following numbers:

Broadcom BCM5722KFB1G

This server does have a single PCI card slot and several PCI express slots,
I inserted an Intel Pro 100 card into the PCI slot which was recognized, to 
complete the install.

I ran pciconf -lv and here is the relevant output:

none2 at pci14:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x7051103c chip=0x165a14e4 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

I noted back in December that the following patch was posted to the mailing list,
I did not get a chance to try it out (as I only had a short amount of time to
test on this system before turning it over to the customer with a Different OS
on it)

$ pwd 
/usr/src/sys/dev/bge 
$ diff -c if_bge.c*

Supposedly this was to be committed as the poster of the patch
reported it worked on his Dell PowerEdge T105 system.  I did not
see it in the driver, however.

Of course, the other workaround is to use a different network card like I
did.
