#1066 adding support for bge interface
The broadcom driver for FREEBSD has been available
since FBSD 4.7.
Attached is a patch for webmin webmin-1.080
webmin fails to recognize this diver since there is a
static list of interface names it understands as valid
ethernet drivers (maybe there could be a better way?
look for the media: Ethernet tag see ifconfig -a below)
this patch will fix it (and adds the interface type
GigEthernet, not that I can tell it matters.)
FYI, the fxp interface could be either ethernet, fast
ethernet or GigE, so I don't know why there is any
diferentiation here. (any questions, email
scheidell@secnap.net)
in the /usr/local/lib/webmin/net directory.

Thanks for the patch - I will include it in the next
release. As far as the module is concerned, there is no
difference between fast, gigabit and normal ethernet.
However, it does need to identify ethernet interfaces so
that it knows that they can be edited, unlike ppp ones which
are configured quite differently. Because an interface may
not be active, the only way to tell what type it is is to
look at the name ..
