I have a new Mac Mini and have encountered the same problem reported =
last year by Richard Kuhns.  YongHyeon PYUN provided some patches to the =
kernel that resolved the problem.  However, without an internet =
connection its a bit tricky to get them into the system.  Here is the =
approach I believe will work, but wanted to check first before I really =
mess things up.

1.  Downloaded from current today via svnweb.freebsd.org:
	sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h
	sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c
	sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c

    I believe the patches are incorporated in today's versions.  The =
comments indicate such.  Thus I don't need to apply the original =
supplied patch.

2.  Put those on a flash drive.

3.  Install 9.1 release from flash drive onto the Mini disk.  Have to =
include the system source.

4.  Copy the files from 1 above from flash over the files on the disk.

5.  Rebuild the kernel and install it.

Thanks,

-- Doug=
