Broadcom 5700 NIC on debian stable (woody)?

[Steinar Bang <sb@dod.no>]

Does anyone have experience with using NICs based on the Broadcom 5700
chip on debian stable?

I've googled for "broadcom 5700 debian", and have found references to
a driver called "tg3", which seems to be standard in RedHat's 4.1.18
kernels. 

However, it doesn't seem to be part of the kernel-image-2.4.18-686
kernel.  Therefore I'm guessing it's not part of the upstream 2.4.18
sources, and the RedHat kernel driver is a backport from 2.5.  Does
anyone know if this guess is correct?  Does anyone know if it's
planned to be backported into debian 2.4 kernels?

There's also the driver in:

Has anyone tried this, and been able to make it work?

Thanx!
