Public bug reported:
Since 13.04 came out officially, the NetXtreme BCM57766 gigabit ethernet chip
is not recognized by the tg3 driver.
Have to recompile the kernel and apply a simple patch over and over again.
A fix exists - which consists adding the vendor identification, but it has not
made it into kernel 3.8.0-19 neither 3.8.0-21
+ {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57766)},
+ {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57782)},
+ {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57786)},
Has been discuessed on askubuntu.com
