 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=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         =
