Hi,
I'm currently running a FreeBSD 13.1 on a VMware ESXi 7.0.3 installed on an HPE Proliant DL380 Gen9, and I would like to have network access via Passthrough for performance considerations. My NIC is a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet. The Passthrough is well configured, because I'm able to run a Debian 11 on the same host with it. Furthermore, I was able to access to the NIC with bge driver without any problem when I tried to boot on a FreeBSD 13.1 Live USB.
My problem comes when I'm running FreeBSD onto ESXi with Passthrough: I can't load the bge driver as you can see below in dmesg. If anyone has a solution for my problem, it would help me a lot!
