All,

There were lots of reports that stock bge(4) does not work on Dell
Rx20/HP DL 360 G8.  With the help of Broadcom and BCM5719/BCM5720
users I managed to address the issue but I had to touch very
sensitive part of driver. Before committing the change to tree I'd
like to know whether this change introduces regressions on old
bge(4) controllers. If you're bge(4) user, please try latest WIP
version at the following URL and let me know how it goes on your
box. I'm especially interested in whether there is any ASF/IPMI
regression on BCM570x/571x.

http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/bge/if_bgereg.h
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/bge/brgphy.c

<Build instructions>
1. Copy both if_bge.c/if_bgereg.h to /usr/src/sys/dev/bge directory
2. Copy brgphy.c /usr/src/sys/dev/mii
3. Rebuild kernel and reboot to take the change effect.

You can also use the files above for for 9.1/stable/9. For stable/8
it needs slight modification and I couldn't find time to regenerate
the patch.

Thanks.
