Bug#390429: bcm5700-source: does not compile against 2.6.18
I send an ITA for this package to wnpp (http://bugs.debian.org/366806). An updated package with the last and latest bcm driver is available at https://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/~marks/debian/ waiting for upload by a maintainer.

I'm curious: What's the point of this package ? Are there devices not supported by the tg3 driver ? It's not a support problem, but a stability problem. I have a Dell server with the 5700 chip, which will hang predictably after a day or so. Also the TSO support is not very mature in the in-kernel driver. So yes, the tg3 driver is working, but it's still not as good as the bcm5700 driver, at least the one in 2.6.18. So, probably it can be removed in the next Debian release.
