>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)

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.
