Sorry for the extra email; I should add (to save you digging through
the archives) that this is a
bfe0_at_pci2:0:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x81271028 chip=0x440114e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM4401 10/100 Integrated Ethernet Controller'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

If I find time, I may try (e.g.) 127, 512 for these values later today.
