I've applied the patch to the latest sources:

spike# patch < /usr/src/if_bge.diff
Hmm...  Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|*** if_bge.c.~1.122.~  Wed Dec 20 21:04:08 2006
|--- if_bge.c   Sat Dec 23 00:34:17 2006
--------------------------
Patching file if_bge.c using Plan A...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 277.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 2032.
Hunk #3 succeeded at 2200.
Hunk #4 succeeded at 2233.
done

I've been waiting for a buildable CURRENT so if it finally completes 
successfully, I'll give it a go.

Unfortunately I do not have a live system to test on with this chipset just 
yet so if current doesn't build, I'll install NetBSD and replace the driver.

I'll provide the dmesg as soon as I have it.

Thanks again for your help.
