freebsd stable - Mar 2005 - xSeries346 and FreeBSD 5.3

Welcome,

I've just bought IBM xSeries346 server. There was no problem with
installing FreeBSD 5.3, but problem is with LAN card - BCM5721 (I
think, reseller told me this name).
Is there any possibility to run this card?

Best Regards,

You have to install a 5-STABLE or manually get following files

src/sys/dev/bge/*
src/sys/dev/mii/miidevs
src/sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c

and recompile kernel.
without those two mii files, you can only run 100-baseTX.
