Since the tg3 driver doesn't work with my BCM5702 interface anyway
(#240812), I'm using the bcm5700-source driver from non-free. I guess
people running servers and using the advanced features of this driver
are doing the same.

Feel free to write a personal email to Broadcom asking for the source of
their GPLed driver.
