I have a spare machine Sun Fire X2100 M2 with 5715C:

bge0 at pci0:6:4:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x534c108e chip=0x167814e4 
rev=0xa3 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
     device     = 'BCM5715C 10/100/100 PCIe Ethernet Controller'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
bge1 at pci0:6:4:1:        class=0x020000 card=0x534c108e chip=0x167814e4 
rev=0xa3 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
     device     = 'BCM5715C 10/100/100 PCIe Ethernet Controller'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet

I can provide you full access to this machine (if you want) or let me 
know, what version I should check. Older versions (6.x - 8.3) are 
working fine with hw.bge.allow_asf="1" in loader.conf. I didn't test 
newer releases on these old machines.
