The driver in FreeBSD 6.1 stable is v0.9.5
On my box this led to
>Error mapping mbuf into TX chain!
Solution:
Copy the latest version of if_bce.c (0.9.6) into /usr/src/sys/dev/bce
I got this from http://yogurt.org/FreeBSD/if_bce.c
make a new kernel,
cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
cp GENERIC /root/kernels/NEWKERNEL
ln -s /root/kernels/NEWKERNEL
cd /usr/src/
make buildkernel KERNCONF=NEWKERNEL
make installkernel KERNCONF=NEWKERNEL
reboot
check dmesg to ensure new driver loads.

While the kernel is compiling, listen to some music at nexuslive
