it's a broadcom NIC. The driver is tg3



I use Broadcom's driver for my bcm5702: http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php

They work great and enable all the hardware offload features. I used version 2.2.34 on a server that had a 300 day uptime and it performed flawlessly; perfectly stable and FAST.
