Broadcom bnx2/bce support in 6.02

[Matthew Franz <mdfranz@gmail.com>]

I noticed that the bnx firmware packages are in non-free but has
anyone used them?  Installing them on kfreebsd did not have the same
effect as on standard Debian which installing the firmware .deb just
works....

I assume that requires the presence of the bce device?  Or perhaps all
the firmware tools are linux?

I'm building a new kernel (for pfsync/carp) following the instructions here

http://mixinet.net/~sto/blog/debian/20101130_The_FreakyWall_Part_3/

And my naive attempt to just add "device bce" to the config failed.

I can probably find a way around that but was curious if anyone else
was running Broadcom drivers that require firmware (most Dell
hardware) w?

Thanks,
