I have the 1655MC here at the University and I can get the interface to
kind of work with 4.8R.  It seems the bge driver doesn't properly get
ARP requests.  I'm sure that's not the only problem with the card...

Has anyone had success with this card?

Thanks,
Will

FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE doesn't bring up the onboard Broadcom GigE cards on
the Dell 1655MC.  The cards appear to be a derivative of the Broadm
5703X Series.

I found a patch for the original 4.7 release, but it doesn't function
with any of the newer if_bge.c or if_bgereg.h updates that are in CVS
(i.e. the card cannot be modified).

Does anyone have patches that work on 4.7-CURRENT?????  I want to burn a
CD Image that will work correctly for PXE boot or for loads from a
CD-ROM.
