BCM4401-B0 card error on FreeBSD 5.2.1

[Mark]

You may have to build a kernel with the 
"device          bge" # gig cards
"device          bfe" # 10- 100 cards
entries to build the moduals, I would have thought they 
were with the base system. But I had to build a kernel
for the bfe modual to work.

Side note: The bfe entry is not in the GENERIC kernel 
on 4.10 but will build and work. The bge modual would not 
find my broadcom 4401.
