Problem with Broadcomm NIC - not recognized

I'm trying to set up a new laptop, and I have an odd problem.  The 
laptop has a Broadcomm NetXtreme 57xx Gig Nic, and the install didn't 
recognize it.  The GENERIC kernel has support for the NIC (bge and 
miibus), and I've done several installs on other hardware that detected 
the NIC just fine, but this one doesn't.  There's nothing in dmesg, and 
ifconfig only shows lo0.

How do I correct this problem?
