Welcome,

I've just bought IBM xSeries346 server. There was no problem with
installing FreeBSD 5.3, but problem is with LAN card - BCM5721 (I
think, reseller told me this name).
Is there any possibility to run this card?

You have to install a 5-STABLE or manually get following files

src/sys/dev/bge/*
src/sys/dev/mii/miidevs
src/sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c

and recompile kernel.
without those two mii files, you can only run 100-baseTX.

From where i must download these files?

I've just made cvsup on my workstation (*default release=cvs
tag=RELENG_5) and got:

So you updated your source to 5-STABLE.

saucepan# pwd
/usr/src/sys/dev/bge
saucepan# ls -al
total 186
drwxr-xr-x    2 root  wheel     512 Mar  9 12:51 .
drwxr-xr-x  155 root  wheel    2560 Mar  9 12:53 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root  wheel  101313 Mar  2 21:29 if_bge.c
-rw-r--r--    1 root  wheel   81011 Mar  2 11:08 if_bgereg.h
saucepan#

Looks like what I have here. Follow the directions near the bottom of /usr/src/UPDATING to update the system from source:
"To rebuild everything and install it on the current system."


When you're done you should be running 5-STABLE (currently 5.4-PRERELEASE).
