The bfe (used to be bcm) driver only works under -current, and will be in 
5.2 when it's released next year.  That's the main reason I am running 
-current on this laptop (Dell Insprion 5100)

bfe0: <Broadcom BCM4401 Fast Ethernet> mem 0xe0204000-0xe0205fff irq 10 
at device 1.0 on pci2
bfe0: Ethernet address: 00:0b:db:9e:86:f0

I haven't heard anything about backporting it to -STABLE.
