For what it is worth, we have current precedent for having an open 
driver available in nevada and a driver that can be downloaded and 
instaleld from the vendor.

We provide bge as opensource in the open tree of ON and Broadcomm make 
bcme available for download from their site. On pkgadding bcme the admin 
is asked if they want to disable the bge driver to avoid conflict.

Seems like a lot of similarities to me here.
