Subject: tg3 + BCM5721 : eth1 detected yet 'No such device'

Hello. I'm only able to use one of the two onboard Gig-eth NICs on this HP DL145 G2 with Debian etch (2.6.18-based) yet both are detected and shown by dmesg. The NIC marked as '2' on the back of the machine becomes eth0, whilst 'eth1' seems to vanish into the ether (if you'll excuse the pun).

Same behaviour with tg3 v3.66 directly from 
http://www.broadcom.com/docs/driver_download/570x/linux-3.66d.zip

Same behaviour also with Ubuntu dapper (2.6.15).

SSH access to the machine is available if desired :)

Cheers,
Gavin.
