There have been no changes to tg3 between 2.6.32-45 and -46, so there
cannot have been any bug fix.

If you can't reproduce the bug on squeeze now, then I don't think you
can tell whether it has been fixed in any other version.  Perhaps there
was a change in some external condition that triggered it.
