There is no difference between RELENG_6_2 and RELENG_6, so I think you should expect no change. I have backported some interesting changes against bge(4) here: http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/misc/patch-bge-releng62 You may try it out to see if things gets improved, but I am not very confident about that, because the changes are mostly unrelated to BCM5752. Also, we would appreciate if you could help to test if the latest -CURRENT snapshot can make your NIC to work correctly, because it looks like that we need a more complete MFC of the bge(4) changes, not just the ones I have chosen (for my personal needs).
