Crisson,

Sorry about length of time it took me to reply.  This appeared to help some.  
In that the adapter stopped being invisible to the driver, and started 
reporting itself as "misconfigured".

scanpci -v :
...
pci bus 0x0009 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x14e4 device 0x1673
 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
 CardVendor 0x1028 card 0x01f9 (Dell, Card unknown)
  STATUS    0x0010  COMMAND 0x0002
  CLASS     0x02 0x00 0x00  REVISION 0x02
  BIST      0x00  HEADER 0x00  LATENCY 0x00  CACHE 0x10
  BASE0     0x00000000fe7f0004  addr 0x00000000fe7f0000  MEM 64BIT
  MAX_LAT   0x00  MIN_GNT 0x00  INT_PIN 0x01  INT_LINE 0x0a
...

/var/adm/messages had the following in it, twice:
Jul 31 11:09:47 vmH118MG1 bge: [ID 801725 kern.warning] WARNING: bge0: Device 
'pci14e4,1673' not recognized (5747?)

So I figured that it might make sense to use the (working) wifi card at a local 
coffee shop and see if there were updates to the bge driver.  There were.  The 
dependencies hund the box during application a few times, and I'm pretty close 
to my tinkering threshold.

Any further help would be appreciated.
