I have non-free (Etch, Backports, Security, Volatile, Lenny, Sid, and 
Experimental) available here, and I don't see anything related to the tg3 
firmware.  It's possible that it was removed and not replaced, but that's 
not normal.

There is one firmware for the Broadcom NetXteremeII, but I don't think 
that's your card:
p   firmware-bnx2                    - Binary firmware for Broadcom 
NetXtremeII
