7-current freeze on HP6710b with BroadCom (bge0) (was: Compaq HPCompaq HP 6710b freezes on 7-CURRENT-SNAP-200708)

The problems was identified:

first)
 7-current freeze on HP6710b if acpi.ko is loaded. The workaround is 
 to boot it without acpi.

second)
 7-current freeze on HP6710b (even without acpi) if BroadCom ethernet
 is enabled in BIOS. The workaround is to disable Ethernet in BIOS. 
 pciconf -lv said:
     vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
 cbb0_at_pci2:4:0:	class=0x060700 card=0x30c0103c chip=0x04761180 rev=0xb6 hdr=0x02

Please note that support for the chip=0x04761180 was added to 
the FreeBSD 6.2-stable and is not included in the 6.2-release. Please note 
also that the FreeBSD 6-2 stable works on this machine without any
problem (both chip=0x04761180 and acpi works fine).
