Sorry -- I wasn't clear enough in my original message. bge1 is the shared-with-management port, which I simply disable.
bge0 is the "other" broadcom in the box that I need to use. Disabling bge* takes them both out, but I can add back in *just* bge0 via config -e, and that attaches fine but doesn't work (ifconfig shows "media manual"). Unfortunately brgphy* does not attach to bge0 configured in this manner, giving instead: OUI 0x000818 model 0x0034 rev 0 at bge0 phy 1 not configured bge0: no PHY found! I tried to disable brgphy* and add a brgphy0, but that doesn't seem to work either... and that's where I'm stuck (no way of getting the PHY to attach to a manually configured bge). Thanks.
