bge is also used by my main laptop with current Oct 15 18:33 /boot/kernel/kernel
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=c019b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE>
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
Doug, I think bge must be safe as man 4 bge:
"bge - Broadcom BCM57xx/BCM590x Gigabit/Fast Ethernet driver"
& Brooks proposal was ... "a plan to deprecate most 10/100 Ethernet drivers"
Cheers,
Julian

Campaign lies, criminal funding, economy & pound down. Time for an honest ref.
