Problems With BroadCom NetXtreme Ethernet and Atheros AR5B91

[weinter.lim]

I am using FreeBSD 7.1 BETA 2 on my New Acer Aspire 4530
The motherboard belong to Nvidia NForce9 series with the integrated GPU 9100M G
During Boot Dmesg did not detect my Ethernet BroadCom NetXtreme
pciconf -lv

none5@pci0:8:0:0 Class=0X020000 card=0X014a1025 chip=0X168414e4 rev=0X10
hdr=0X00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

My Atheros Wireless also failed to detect

none6@pci0:11:0:0 Class=0X028000 card=0X03031a32 chip=0X002a168c rev=0X01
hdr=0X00
vendor = 'Atheros  Communication Inc'
class = network

Thanks

The Linux tg3 driver claims this is a BCM5764.  Can you try this patch and
include any messages (especially any phy messages) from a verbose boot?  
Alternatively, you could boot w/o bge in the kernel, turn on bootverbose
(debug.bootverbose sysctl) and kldload a patched bge.ko and capture the dmesg
output.

No idea on this one.  You could ask Sam perhaps.

Hi I just found another issue that is rather worrying

When i tried compiling my kernel the temperature run up to 90 degs
On my previous laptop Acer Aspire 4520G using the TL-60 Processor it went up to a maximium of 70 deg
Now on my new RM-72 Turion It went up to 90 deg
I am afraid that even if the heat didn't burn up my processor it will burn up my other components as well
Also i already enabled power_d
I am really worried

Hi,
I patched the files as advise the Ethernet was detected but upon configuring the network no data was transmitted (the activity light did not lit up) and the system hung
Thanks
