>Description:
	if_bge(4) doesn't support Broadcom BCM5761/5764.  These are new family of
	Broadcom NetXtreem Desktop/Mobile series.

>How-To-Repeat:
	if_bge(4) doesn't probe these NICs.

>Fix:
	N/A.

	I read Linux 2.6.26.3 codes(tg3 driver, it's support only BCM5761),
	but I found many quirk:-(.  So I gave up to support this family.

	According to my BCM5764, BGE_CHIPID(BGE_CHIPID_BCM5764) is 0xf1000000,
	PCI Vendor ID is 0x14e4 and PCI Device ID is 0x1684.

	Please see also for more informations:
