Just a little question, may be off the record.
Do you know if the tg3 driver supports any of the Broadcoms laptop
integrated ethernet cards? I'm waiting for a new Inspiron 8500 and in the
website they claim that the card is a Broadcom.
I don't know the exact model yet... but I've seen this thread and I
couldn't restrain me ;-)
If nobody knows about it, I'll send the output of lspci -v -v as soon as I
get the laptop... (c'mon UPS, c'mon! :)
