Broadcom BCM5703X causing reboot? 4.8-RC2

[L. Jankok]

to avoid confusion see the below

FreeBSD proxy.mynet.not 4.7-20030218-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-20030218-STABLE #0: Mon Feb 24 15:17:06 CET 2003     root at proxy-2.mynet.not:/usr/src/sys/compile/MYNET-SMP-PROXY  i386

bge0: <Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x1002> mem 0xf7ef0000-0xf7efffff irq 11 at device 
2.0 on pci1

works like a charm pumping approximately 232 GB a month 

hope this helps

:Thats good, and I preferr that, but if you look at the uname or dmesg of a

:Yeah, sorry I didn't have any input on that issue.
