Hi, The bge driver doesn't support this chipset yet and I was wondering if anyone has looked at implementing it. NetBSD looks like it has support for it. Now I may be wrong here, but it appears that the BCM57765 is similar to other devices based on the NetBSD if_bge.c source version 1.194. I've tried applying the NetBSD changes to the FreeBSD bge source but I don't know enough about the hardware and the code is different enough that I haven't made it very far. I can get a patched 8.2 kernel to detect the device, complain that the ASIC is unknown, read the MAC address correctly and determine there is link but as soon as you attempt to ifconfig up the interface the machine locks up. I'm happy to try and port this over but need a nudge in the right direction from someone who knows the code. Thanks, Paul.
