Thank you for the information, but does it actually work for you? I
have tested the latest AMD64 4.4 snapshot and while I can bring the
device up and LEDs are blinking I get no response from my router.
Should I try again with i386?
Also, slightly unrelated, is it possible to break out of some
unresponsive setup item(say ftp to openbsd.org without a connection)
without leaving the setup altogether?
Thank you

The device is detected as a Broadcom chipset and is managed by the bge
driver. This is all from a i386 4.3 CD but I had the same problem with
an old 4.4 snapshot.

If I ifconfig from the (s)hell I can set up everything but it
complains that status: no carrier. And indeed there is no light
whatsoever in the socket.
The device works in Ubuntu with the Tigon3 driver, so I suspected it
could need some sort of firmware, but this is not the Intel wireless
and everything else is supposed to be more or less open. The laptop is
listed as working(minus ACPI) as of 4.2 in /i386-laptop.html although
its dmesg doesn't quite agree:
Broadcom BCM5906M rev 0x02 at pci4 dev 0 function 0 not configured
Has anyone managed to get 1330 Ethernet to work?
Thank you
Works in Oct 15th -current.
