Why is that? 

A few months ago I was using the e1000 for kgdb; now I'm using the e100.
I've got E1000 enabled with NAPI so I likely was then. So the e1000
likely didn't have this limitation.

Since the tg3 is a very commonly used ethernet interface, shouldn't
this limitation be mentioned in the release notes?

I think I recall the author of the kgdboe code mentioning ethernet
drive limitations when he first submitted it to the 2.6 mm patch
series.
