  I was quite surprised to see that Broadcom tg3 card is no longer
  supported in 2.6.11. I thought the driver was free except for the
  optional firmware?
  
  Anyways, I found the following paragraph in the changelog, but I
  cannot find the file NEWS.Debian it refers to. At least it's not in
  /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.6.11 where I would expect it to be.

 This has now been fixed in SVN and should appear in the next release.
 For reference, here is the text of the file.

The changelog of 2.6.11-2 claims that this problem is resolved, but I
still don't have a NEWS.Debian on my system. Am I looking at the wrong
place?

Also, kernel-nonfree-source-2.6.11 does not seem to be available as of
now. Is this planned for inclusion? Maybe NEWS.Debian should say so.

kernel-source-2.6.11 (2.6.11-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * This release drops the tg3 driver.  Previously, it was included, but
with (non-free) firmware stripped out.  Instead, from now on, it will
be in a separate package; kernel-nonfree-source-2.6.11.  This package
is in non-free, and contains the full tg3 driver (with firmware), as
well as a number of other drivers that have been removed from Debian's
kernel-source packages for quite some time.
