Daniel O'Connor suggested I look in /var/run/dmesg.boot (I was looking in /var/log/dmesg.*). I looked on my 2nd 2650 box which apparently has a slightly different chipset in it, and it should be older than the 1st. The device as identified there is a bit different: bge0: mem 0xfcf10000-0xfcf1ffff irq 28 at device 6.0 on pci3 bge0: Ethernet address: 00:06:5b:f0:7d:c3 miibus0: on bge0 bge0@pci3:6:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01211028 chip=0x164514e4 rev=0x15 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM5701 NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet' class = network subclass = ethernet Still, not your exact chipset (presumably 0x14e4 is vendor and 0x1677 is version, the chip= field has them swapped, and my two machines straddle your chip. I have another 5.3-BETA4 box with a BCM5788 (chip=0x169c14e4) but that isn't the right chip either, and it isn't a Dell. Doesn't really help you, but if I were you I would try booting up under 5.2.1 (if only via CD-ROM), seeing what it reports about the chipset and if it seems to be supported, and then chasing driver-code differences.
