There's progress! With your latest patch using brgphy.c, if_bge.c, and
if_bgereg.h from head I'm now seeing the bge0 interface. Unfortunately, the
moment I try to configure it the box locks up completely; it won't even toggle
the caps lock LED.

Booting single user and running ifconfig shows:

bge0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE>
	ether a8:20:66:11:3b:d6
	nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
	media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
	status: active

I did a verbose boot; here's the part that seems to be relevant to bge0:

bge0: <Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Controller, ASIC rev. 0x57766001> mem
0xa0400000-0xa040ffff,0xa0410000-0xa041ffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1
bge0: CHIP ID 0x10110142; ASIC REV 0x10110; CHIP REV 0x101101; PCI-E
miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
brgphy0: <BCM57765 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0
brgphy0: OUI 0x001be9, model 0x0024, rev. 1
brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT,
1000baseT-master, 1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, auto, auto-flow
bge0: bpf attached
bge0: Ethernet address: a8:20:66:11:3b:d6
ioapic0: routing intpin 16 (PCI IRQ 16) to lapic 0 vector 61

I greatly appreciate your efforts. I'm sorry for the delay getting back with
you, but we had a busy Thanksgiving weekend.

Thank you!
