i'm running Axel's alpha release and that driver is present (/boot/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/bcm570x)
I noticed in the logs the kernel is loading both bcm440x and bcm570x. Maybe this is the problem?

No, like BeOS, we try to load all drivers, each driver scans to see if any devices are present that it can support. If none, it simply unloads itself again. So it's normal to at least see it try to load in syslog.

Could you check with broadcom570x ? It might miss some PHYs though.

The PCI id of this NIC is not listed in the driver file:
haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/bcm570x/b57um.c
The NIC's PCI id (as per lspci in linux) is:
PciID: 14e4:167a
Description: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (Rev 02)
Maybe adding it would make the card work? I have no idea if the 570x driver works with 5754 though.

There are two drivers : bcm570x and broadcom570x. Could you check the latter? With the against-28608.diff patch from #1590, it might actually work (your PCI id is recognized by broadcom570x)

Does it work with hrev28712 ?

Can anyone confirm that this is working on a recent Haiku build?

wowwwww.... this was opened for an *OLD* handle I used to use.
Consider it resolved by the latest bsd driver work :)
There is a driver in the tree for that chipset (src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/broadcom_bcm570x), but it's not currently included in the image as it doesn't yet work right.
