The driver for the bge 5704 was introduced shorty before 4.9-Prerelease. So you have to upgrade your sources, so that basically the bge driver knows about the particular different pci id of the 5704 chip. I had 4-stable on it, so I installed 4.8-R, put in a 3com 905 (which was lying around, any 3.3V-Card will do) and cvsup'ed to 4.9-pre. After make world anything was fine, and i pulled the 3com. I don't know about 5.1, if tracking releng_51 will do the job. Or you take the relevant pieces of the bge driver from -current, merge them into your sources for 5.1. I never did it, so YMMV.
