Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.24
Severity: important
The tg3 driver for Broadcom based ethernet cards is marked broken in this kernel, because
the firmware has been removed from the source file. I guess this was due to DFSG policy...
It would be nice if there were a warning and a non-free package with the driver and/or the
firmware. Otherwise this takes quite some time to figure out!

The module is not marked as broken in our patchset. See
debian/config/patches/debian/dfsg/drivers-net-tg3-fix-simple.patch.
