You can either cvsup to the latest 4.4-STABLE, or download the driver
kit from:

	http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Broadcom/4.x/bcm570x_drv.tar.gz

This kit contains two kernel modules, bcmphy.ko and if_bge.ko, which
you can kldload into your system to add support for the on-board
gigE NIC. No kernel recompilation is necessary. The source for the
modules is also included. Read the README in the kit for additional
info.
