The tg3 driver works for any tg3 card which already contains usable
firmware. This is many of them on i386, but I don't know about sparc.
Removing the driver (which happened in Debian's 2.6.11 kernel BTW), is
not the best approach.

AFAIK this will be resolved in Debian's 2.6.12 kernel, since the
firmware has been relicensed.
