Subject: free tg3 ethernet driver

We would like to have a tg3 driver which would be accepted as free by the 
FSF's standards.

At least some part of the driver seems to be GPL'ed; see [1].  However, the 
FSF's hardware guide lists tg3 as non-free, so there seems to be a non-free 
firmware somewhere.

We would like to be able to use the free driver with Linux 2.6.27 or later.
