Adding support for new chips often is that easy, if you look in the 3com 
xl and Intel fxp driver histories you'll find tons of changes which are 
just like the one you made below.

I'll commit the change if you can remind me to do so later in the week 
(Thursday or Friday.)

Broadcom 5789

[stefan]

Hi
I just setup a FreeBSD 5.4 stable on a machine using a Gigabyte
GA-8I915P Duo Pro motherboard. Contrary to the documentation, the
board I have does not use the Broadcom 5751 chip but the 5789 which
is not recognized by the bge(4) driver.

The 5788 is already in the list of supported chips by the bge
driver. From this I guessed that the driver could alsow work
with the 5789. I tried the following patch and at least from
my minimal testing (only 100Mbit) it looks as if it works.

Could someone with knowledge of the Broadcom ethernet chips
and the bge driver check if adding support for the 5789 is
really that easy and if yes, initiate the needed steps to get
the device id's in the kernel?

regards

Stefan Aeschbacher

The patches I used to get it working:
