First, please do not reply to existing/non-relevant threads to start a
new discussion on an unrelated subject.  (You replied to a thread about
freebsd-update problems.)  I have removed the In-Reply-To header in
hopes that this will become a separate thread.

Second, what are your related /etc/rc.conf entries for ipfw?  They
should be named along the lines of firewall_*.

Thirdly, if you could provide the output from dmesg that's relevant
to the bge0 device and the associated mii device, output from
pciconf -lv that pertains to the Broadcom device(s), and what your
interrupt tables look like (vmstat -i will 'sort of' show this, but it
doesn't show every device associated with an IRQ; it'll usually show
one then append a "+" to it), then this would be useful.

Also, a build time of your kernel + world would be useful too.  uname -a
and the timestamp of something like /rescue/ls would suffice for world.

Thanks for taking a look.  Let me know if more info is needed.
