This returned "nothing"? Weird... :-?
lsmod|grep tg3

Is this a "crash"? >:-?
Anyway, a Google search returned an interesting post because the user
seems to have a similar hardware (heck, I hope it's not you! :-P):
problem with wireless on dell d600
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/problem-with-wireless-on-dell-d600-895623/
Same error over the same hardware... too much for a coincidence.
Try by powering off the computer and leave it so for a while. Then engage
it and wait for a miracle... if no miracle comes to you I would go for a
bug report :-)
