There is no difference between RELENG_6_2 and RELENG_6, so I think you
should expect no change.  I have backported some interesting changes
against bge(4) here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/misc/patch-bge-releng62

You may try it out to see if things gets improved, but I am not very
confident about that, because the changes are mostly unrelated to
BCM5752.  Also, we would appreciate if you could help to test if the
latest -CURRENT snapshot can make your NIC to work correctly, because it
looks like that we need a more complete MFC of the bge(4) changes, not
just the ones I have chosen (for my personal needs).

Cheers,
