Should probably start a GNU/Hurd hardware status page on the Wiki...

The chipset has changed a bit between generations:

G1: eepro (Linux) or fxp (*BSD) driver, requiring non-free microcode

G2: HP NC7780 aka BCM5701, tg3 driver (Linux) or bge (*BSD)
G3: HP NC7781, same?
G4: HP NC7782, same?

G5: bce/bnx (*BSD) or bnx2 (Linux) driver, needs non-free blob?
004:00:0: Broadcom BCM5708 NetXtreme II 1000baseT Ethernet (ethernet
network, revision 0x12)
G6: HP NC382i aka BCM5709C, same driver

Chipset isn't mentioned in their tech specs, perhaps varies.

I've seen e1000e mentioned, supported in wheezy by Linux 3.2.x, but not
by the version of the Intel drivers in squeeze:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network
Connection (rev 04)

With network connectivity?  If so which NIC do they emulate?  (rtl8139?)

What kind of storage bus is used?
