Re: kern/36022 (bge(4) fails to initialize)

[Andreas Wrede <andreas%wrede.ca@localhost>]

With the updated bge(4) driver, I now get "bge0: eeprom read timed out" on the 
machine that reported the original problem:

bge0 at pci5 dev 9 function 0: Broadcom BCM5704C Dual Gigabit Ethernet
bge0: interrupting at ioapic2 pin 0
bge0: eeprom read timed out
bge0: eeprom read timed out

[same for bge1]

However, once I assign the original MAC address (ifconfig bge0 link 
00:e0:81:30:d6:7c active), the interface works fine:

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
