Package: systemimager-boot-i386-standard
Version: 3.2.3-5
Followup-For: Bug #293491


As far as I see, the 3.2.3-5 package did not resolve the problems with
the missing driver (which happens to be just the one that I needed..).

Yes, you need the firmware loader for the tg3 driver, but the FWL in 
turn requires hotplug support ("make menuconfig" is helpful here).
I.e:
CONFIG_HOTPLUG <-dep- CONFIG_FW_LOADER <-dep- CONFIG_TIGON3 

Here's the patch for the source package (please see attatched file). 
It only fixes the i386 kernel, as I have no way to test ia64.
