This appears to fix problems I was seeing on a 5703 part (sorry David,
told you 5702 before):

bge0: <Broadcom BCM5703 A2, ASIC rev. 0x1002> mem 0xfaff0000-0xfaffffff
irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci2

This is a Dell 600m.  Prior to the patch I'd get the RX diagnostic
failed msg.  dhclient would fetch a lease but I couldn't mount an nfs
volume (w/ UDP).  With your patch things appear to work as before.
