You get these warning because the hardware has a Broadcom ethernet controller which uses the tg3 module and this module declares it may need these firmwares : # modinfo -F firmware tg3 tigon/tg3_tso5.bin tigon/tg3_tso.bin tigon/tg3.bin However your Broadcom ethernet controller may not need any of them, or optionally use one to enable some offload functions. > An aptitude search doesn't turn up anything.
