They're working for me.

grep bce /var/run/dmesg.boot

You have to get the if_bce.c source that has this in it:
/**************************************************************************=
**/
/* BCE Driver Version=20
*/
/**************************************************************************=
**/
char bce_driver_version[] =3D "v0.9.6";

and then recompile your kernel.
