After reading http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable@freebsd.org/msg83981.html
I added:
{ BRCM_VENDORID, BRCM_DEVICEIDBCM7808S, HP_VENDORID, 0x16AC,
"HP ... ADAPTER" },
to /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c.
After reboot I get SerDes controllers not supported in dmesg,
device_attach: bce0 attach returned 19.
Pciconf -lv says:
bce0 at pci7:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x703b103c chip=0x16ac14e4 rev=0x11 hdr=0x00
vendor = Broadcom Corporation'
class = networl
subclass = ethernet
bce1 likewise.
There doesn't seem to be any available drivers atm. I (even :-)) tried
ubuntu 6.10 server (amd64) and it didn't detect any network-cards
either.
The switch is a 16 ports gb passthrough switch.

Claus
