A possible cause -at least for me- is that HP switched from the Gigabit
Broadcoms for these 10GE versions. So newer machines (for example the HP
BL460c G6) come with Broadcom 57711 instead of the 57xx ones (supported
by bge and bce).
FreeBSD ran very well on HP machines, it would be good if this could
continue.
