[    0.000000] Linux version 2.6.32-3-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-9) (maks@debian.org) (gcc version 4.3.4 (Debian 4.3.4-8) ) #1 SMP Wed Feb 24 18:07:42 UTC 2010

[   18.666773] eth%d: No PHY devices
[   18.666788] tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.

This issue was reported in bug #553024 - also concerning a Broadcom
Netlink BCM57780 - and fixed in linux-2.6 2.6.32-11 ("phylib: Support
PHY module autoloading").
