Broadcom NIC



hi everyone

ive just installed deb sarge on a nice 1ru dual opteron. everything went
smoothly, however im not getting the dual broadcom nics for some reason.

they are without a doubt there, i just think that the driver doesnt
recognise the pci id. (these cards should be BCM57xx, using the tg3
driver)

lspci

02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 0000 (rev
03)
02:03.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 0000 (rev
03)

there they are

lspci -n -v

02:03.0 0200: 14e4:0000 (rev 03)
        Subsystem: 1022:36c0
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
        Memory at fe9b0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Memory at fe9a0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Expansion ROM at fe990000 [disabled] [size=64K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

02:03.1 0200: 14e4:0000 (rev 03)
        Subsystem: 1022:36c0
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
        Memory at fe9d0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Memory at fe9c0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

i have run update-pciids, but a manual search shows that 14e4:0000 is not
at all recognised!?

i also tried building the old driver module-assistant
build ok, but wont load into the 2.6.17 kernel =\

any thoughts on it?
