I have contacted Broadcom asking for support and apparently there is no way to fix the problem. Now I have a couple of questions: the use of tg3 driver without a firmware expose the NIC to some risks or not? And is there any chance to have the PCI IDs added back to tg3 module? I do not want to modify and recompile the module at every version bump.
Thanks for the support :)
