  I have a few Dell 2650s at work and I had to load FreeBSD 5.2.1 (vs.
4.x-STABLE, which at the time was 4.9).  They've all been up to long so I
don't have any handy dmesg output to compare to yours.

  pciconf gives me this, which may be of some help:

	bge0@pci3:6:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x01211028 chip=0x16a714e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
	    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
	    device   = 'BCM5703X NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet'
	    class    = network
	    subclass = ethernet

  The "chip" field is close to yours, but not an exact match.
