I'd like to switch to your Linux-2.6.18 kernel for Domain-0 on some HP DL160G5 systems, but the tg3 driver you're currently including lacks support for the onboard gigabit ethernets (Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722).

It was added later: 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.28.y.git;a=commit;h=126a336822a6594662f5898f1ddf33e6d048fcc7

I wonder if it is possible to backport the driver and include it in some future versions of your support tarball? Gentoo folks included an updated driver in their 2.6.21-xen sources, but I don't know where the patch comes from.

Thanks,
