Hi,

I am trying to install FreeBSD-CURRENT (svn rev 189289) on my Acer Aspire 5920
laptop.  The Broadcom NIC does not show up
in the list of interfaces with "ifconfig -l".

However, if I do "pciconf -l -v", I see:

bge0@pci0:8:0:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x01211025 chip=0x169314e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
  vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
  device = 'BCM 5787A Ethernet Controller Broadcom Netlink Gigabit'
  class  = network
  subclass = ethernet


Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks.
