I have just got two new DL360G5 with xeon E5420 cpus  (HP Ref Number:
470064-731), and the on-board network cards are seen from FreeBSD7 as:

bce0: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2)> mem
0xf8000000-0xf9ffffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci3
miibus0: <MII bus> on bce0
brgphy0: <BCM5708C 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> PHY 1 on miibus0
brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT,
1000baseT-FDX, auto
bce0: Ethernet address: 00:21:5a:a6:8f:f0
bce0: [ITHREAD]
bce0: ASIC (0x57081020); Rev (B2); Bus (PCI-X, 64-bit, 133MHz); F/W
(0x01090605); Flags( MFW MSI )

So there are good chances it's the same on your setup?   But maybe it's
a new model of mainboard... 

regards & HTH,
Olivier
