But it seems that the LAN-Chipset (Broadcom BCM5721) is not

the freebsd sources for at least 5.4 onward identify it as a known
chipset in the if_bge.c file. Are you /sure/ it is that chipset?
It shows up as identified on my Dell PE800 server running FreeBSD 5.4:
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x4001> mem
0xdfaf0000-0xdfafffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci5
The entries in if_bge.c were create based on debugging info I sent to
the developers around december. The chipset is identified as the
5721 based on the tech specs posted by dell, so there is a chance
that the identification is not really for the 5721. i haven't poked
inside the box to verify the chip ID numbers.
I also haven't booted pfsense on this box so I can't verify that aspect.
