Greetings,

I am attempting to configure FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE to run on an IBM
xSeries 335. The two motherboard Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet devices are
not detected by the kernel. Relevant output of 'boot -v'...

 pcib2: <Host to PCI bridge> on motherboard
 found-> vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x16a7, revid=0x02
         class=02-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0
         subordinatebus=0        secondarybus=0
         intpin=a, irq=11
         map[10]: type 1, range 64, base f5ff0000, size 16
 found-> vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x16a7, revid=0x02
         class=02-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0
         subordinatebus=0        secondarybus=0
         intpin=a, irq=3
         map[10]: type 1, range 64, base f5fe0000, size 16
 pci3: <PCI bus> on pcib2
 pci3: <unknown card> (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x16a7) at 1.0 irq 11
 pci3: <unknown card> (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x16a7) at 2.0 irq 3

and 'pciconf -lv'...

 none1@pci3:1:0: class=0x020000 card=0x026f1014 chip=0x16a714e4
  rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
     vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
     device   = 'BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet'
     class    = network
     subclass = ethernet
 none2@pci3:2:0: class=0x020000 card=0x026f1014 chip=0x16a714e4
  rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

I fiddled with BIOS settings (no "PnP OS" option) and tried a stripped
down kernel with no success. Installing a 3c905 PCI card works fine, but
I would prefer to use the built in NICs.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Mike Lambert
