has it).
OpenBSD added support for this network card 13 months back. OpenBSD made
additional changes and fixes to their bge driver 7 months back to better
support BCM57765.

Makes me wonder why FreeBSD has not added support for this network card
yet. FreeBSD should rethink their driver updating policy when another BSD
beats them by 6+ months in supporting newer hardware.
