This is just bizzare. When I wrote my initial e-mail, "ifconfig -a" did 
not show the bge0 device, nor would "ifconfig bge0" pull up an 
interface; now the interface shows up with both of those.

The only thing I can think of is that I made nve0, the other interface, 
a statically configured address instead of one that used DHCP; other 
than that, I've done nothing that should have effected the Broadcom 
card.

In any case, I appreciate the e-mail, as I would not have even thought 
to look again without this prompting. Glad to have the card working!
