A patch which allows FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE to use the Broadcom GigE bge ports
on the Tyan S4882 quad Opteron motherboard (and almost certainly on the 
S4881 motherboard, which had the same problem with 7.4-STABLE) has been 
developed by YongHyeon Pyun.

The problem involves a bug in the PCI bridge which connects the Broadcom
bge Ethernet ports.

He will shortly be committing the patch to HEAD.

Thank you!
