Re: The question about Broadcom BCM5721 ethernet adapter integrated in motherboard, on PCIe and FreeBSD6.3
(1) Thank you for answering! (2) Do I correctly understand that from the OS's point of view there's no difference between Broadcom adapter being attached to PCI bus or to PCIe? Or am I wrong?

There is no difference for this driver.

Yes. All of the Broadcom chips are the same and are supported by the bge driver. However, Broadcom and it's various motherboard customers seem to like to use different PCI id strings for the chip, and so you may find when you install it, that it does not detect the chip.
