    I knew he was using a debian kernel from the moment I saw
    the string "tg3_request_firmware()" in the very first email
    of this thread.

    I pity the poor fool who wishes to netboot his system using
    a tg3 card and use an nfsroot with Debian. Kind of hard to
    get the card firmware from the filesystem in that case.

    I guess these debian kernel folks replace the BIOS on their
    system with one they have the sources for as well.

    The tg3 firmware is just a bunch of MIPS instructions.
    I guess if I ran objdump --disassemble on the image and
    used the output of that in the tg3 driver and "compiled
    that source" they'd be happy. And this makes the situation
    even more ludicrious.
