I installed FreeBSD 7.0-BETA4 amd64 this morning and it boots fine,
detects both CPUs, but can't seem to find a driver for the ethernet. It
doesn't offer anything at install time (only slip and ppp) and shows
nothing in ifconfig when running.
The one thing I see in dmesg is:
pci2: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
Some pages I've found say this is a Broadcom 5721J chipset:

An Ubuntu message says they see it with a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722
driver:

Any suggestions on how I can poke at it to find what kind of hardware
it's using and what driver I need to use for it?
Thanks.
