Sure. Here's the 'ifconfig bge0' output:

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=c019b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE>
	ether a8:20:66:11:3b:d6

	nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
	media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
	status: active

And here's the dmesg output from a verbose boot:

bge0: <Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Controller, ASIC rev. 0x57766001> mem
