So am I: where were you when I asked sent e-mail to this list asking
for people to test the 5705 changes before I committed them?

Actually, boot -v gives you much more, like the date when the kernel
image was compiled. Too bad you decided not to show everything to us.

You'll need to investigate this one for yourself. Make *SURE* you booted
from the right kernel image (strings -a /boot/kernel/kernel | grep 5705).
A good way to experiment is compile your kernel _WITHOUT_ bge support,
and then build if_bge.ko as a module:
# cd /sys/modules/bge
# make; make load
