570x series are surely supported. I tried those ones & they work quite ok. I have no idea if 572x are similar enough though.
Some troubleshooting ideas:
- is bge(4) driver compiled into your kernel (make sure miibus is also present)? try kldload if_bge if not
- ask the maintainer (Bill Paul <wpaul@windriver.com>), he could know much more about Broadcom NICs
