Broadcom Nics in Tyan Transport GT24 (B3992)

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

I don't know what broadcom chip your MB has but the majority of those cards
are supported here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bge/

You should be able to just copy over the 2 files to your src/sys/dev/bge/
directory and
recompile your 6.1-release kernel with no problems.  I did.

Look carefully at the chip on your MB and post the BCM model number on it
if this doesen't work.
