Thanks for the drivers, but at work we have some issues w/ the driver
on an HP Blade.  We could do some basic pings, but when trying to
pass DNS traffic, it failed.  Turning off both rxcsum and txcsum made
the driver work.  If I only turned one or the other off, DNS traffic
would still not work.

This is with 9.0-BETA2.

The device:
bxe0 at pci0:2:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x7058103c chip=0x165014e4 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

Do you need anything else to help diagnose the issue?

Thanks for the help and the driver!
