I also had same problem but succeeded in making BCM4401-B0 work,
thanks to following information with this dirty quick patch.

#define BFE_REG_PCI
I just recompiled a 4.10 kernel with bfe support.
I grab source code from http://people.freebsd.org/~dmlb/bfe-4.8.tar.gz
At boot time, I get:
pci1: unknown card (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x170c) at 14.0 irq 11
When I try to insert the driver manually:
module_register: module pci/bfe already exists!
Hi all,
I'm trying to move from Linux to FreeBSD on my compaq nx5000 laptop.
The FreeBSD version I installed is 5.2.1.
I have a problem with the integrated broadcom BCM4401-B0 NIC.
This is not a BCM4401 but a BCM4401-B0 card (PCI ID = 0x170c), and
the bfe driver does not seem to work:
In the dmesg
Try bge.

This is not a BCM4401
bge gives me exactly the same error message.
And still nothing like bge0: ... in dmesg output.
Try bge.

You may have to build a kernel with the
device bge # gig cards
device bfe # 10- 100 cards
entries to build the moduals, I would have thought they
were with the base system. But I had to build a kernel
for the bfe modual to work.
Side note: The bfe entry is not in the GENERIC
