freebsd stable - Feb 2005 - Broadcom BCM5721 not supported by bge in 5.3-RELEASE?

Hello,

I'm trying to install Freebsd 5.3-RELEASE on an IBM eServer x336, which has
two
Broadcom BCM 5721 Gigabit Ethernet cards.  Unfortunately, it appears
as if the bge driver doesn't support these cards in FreeBSD 5?

This type of interface is support in FreeBSD 4.11.  Is there any chance
of getting supported un FreeBSD 5 as well?

best regards,

tom

I had the same problem, but saw that the required element was in 'HEAD',
so I did a cvsup RELENG_5 & it's now operational.  I'm a bit new to
all
this, so that may not be the most elegant solution, but it did the trick 
for me.
