TG3 NIC autodetection fails with Supermicro P8SCI server motherboard

[Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@iki.fi>]

Hi!

I just installed sarge/testing with network installation CD from 27-12-2004. I used
"linux26" kernel.

NIC autodetection did not detect onboard tg3 NIC's. But when I chose tg3
from the "manual driver selection" list, the NIC was detected OK.
