You may wish to see if there is a module, tg3-new installed on your system.

I can't remember what system I had seen it on, but I do know it was on
a machine I was testing at work and it worked rather well on IBM
xServer and eServer series hardware and Broadcom 10/100/1000 cards
on-board and PCI cards.
