Here are some first pass patches to make the bge driver not break IPMI.
This was tested on a Dell PE850:
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x4101> mem
0xfe6f0000-0xfe6fffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci4
miibus1: <MII bus> on bge0
brgphy0: <BCM5750 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> on miibus1
brgphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,
1000baseTX-FDX, auto
It shouldn't break other bge cards and it might work with other Broadcom
IPMI capable chips (they seem to have different usages). Please let me know
how this goes.
I gleaned this info. from the Linux drivers. YMMV.
I tried applying the patches on todays current (amd64) but there have
been a lot of changes in this driver lately so I had to apply one hunk
by hand.
With a BCM5704 chip (Supermicro H8SSL-i) the box hangs solid after
setting hostname.
With a BCM5721 chip (Supermicro P8SCi) i get "RX CPU Self diagnosis
failed" and no ethernet interfaces at all.
Do you have an updated/working patch set?

Martin
