Shouldn't you be using the bce driver? This is an i386 machine, but amd64
should work the same (you're using the same chipset):
bce0@pci9:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01b31028 chip=0x164c14e4 rev=0x11
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
bce1@pci5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01b31028 chip=0x164c14e4 rev=0x11
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
This is a Dell 1950, from dmesg.boot:
bce0: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B1), v0.9.6> mem
0xf4000000-0xf5ffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci9
bce0: ASIC ID 0x57081010; Revision (B1); PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz
bce1: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B1), v0.9.6> mem
0xf8000000-0xf9ffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci5
bce1: ASIC ID 0x57081010; Revision (B1); PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz
