PATCH: FreeBSD-7-BETA4 'bge' ether for Dell T105 server

Thanks to Max Laier's help, the ether device is now working with the 'bge'
driver. Here is a patch that makes it work. I just recompiled the
kernel afterwards and it comes up.

PS: the T105 is now $399 but includes 1GB RAM and 2x160GB disk,
in addition to the dual-core 1.8GHz Opteron and DVD reader.

(Is there a better way to do this? sorry for the CC's, wasn't sure which
was appropriate for getting this into the tree.)
