You get these warning because the hardware has a Broadcom ethernet
controller which uses the tg3 module and this module declares it may
need these firmwares :
# modinfo -F firmware tg3
tigon/tg3_tso5.bin
tigon/tg3_tso.bin
tigon/tg3.bin
However your Broadcom ethernet controller may not need any of them, or
optionally use one to enable some offload functions.
