Whoops, I didn't even realized I was booted into 2.6.23, I get the same behavior in 2.6.22.0-0.4. I know that tg3 should be built in and it's running but the next source was released a few days ago and I wanted to compile it to see if an issue I was experiencing was fixed. What is the issue you ask? On my broadcom card for some reason the first up (using networkmanager) just gets an apipa address. When I re-initialize it gets an IP and all is good. I've only checked this behavior at work since at home I use Wireless, but maybe i'll check it out at other wired sources.
