Well, IMHO the patch is correctly applied as I could see. I just got the 
David's tree and run a diff between the ethtool.c files (from David's 
tree and mine), and I get the following differences. Note that I just 
add a printk() there to "debug" what was going on.

static int ethtool_get_eeprom(struct net_device *dev, void __user *useraddr)
 {
        struct ethtool_eeprom eeprom;
-       const struct ethtool_ops *ops = dev->ethtool_ops;
+       struct ethtool_ops *ops = dev->ethtool_ops;
        void __user *userbuf = useraddr + sizeof(eeprom);
        u32 bytes_remaining;
        u8 *data;
        int ret = 0;

+       printk("<1> ethtool_get_eeprom()\n");
        if (!ops->get_eeprom || !ops->get_eeprom_len)
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;

The patched ethtool.c is at  http://rafb.net/p/fWXNwk28.html and tg3.c 
is at http://rapidshare.com/files/110139941/tg3.c.html
