Unfortunately we did not update network drivers in Debian 6.0.2 in the
end. However, I am determined to do so in the upcoming stable update
(6.0.3).
The backport of tg3 is available in the git branch:
git://git.debian.org/kernel/linux-2.6.git squeeze
The changes start after tag debian/2.6.32-35squeeze1.
The kernel configuration files we use are at
<http://kernel.alioth.debian.org/config/2.6.32-33/>.
Full source and binary packages containing these and other backported
drivers can now be found at:
http://people.debian.org/~benh/packages/
We would appreciate any help you can provide in testing this, and any
further advice on changes that should be added or reverted.
Ben.
