Get a different NIC. This particular card isn't supported (yet).
 
Actually, it should work. It's listed in the source: BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5787M.

Have you got the correct module loaded or compiled into your kernel?
 
Seems to have been there a while!

Looks that way, at least since version 6.x.

Do you have a bge0 interface? If not it may still not be recognized. In that case please post the output of # pciconf -vl
 
Output of:

[cmd=]kldstat -v | grep bge[/cmd]

[cmd=]pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 -i ^bge[/cmd]
