Indeed.  The stock Linux 2.4.24 driver does not support the
BCM95702.

I expect that it'll get updated in due course, in which case we
can forward port the change to Xen.

There's no sign of it in 2.4.25-rc1

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/hist/drivers/net/tg3.c?nav=index.html|src/.|src/drivers|src/drivers/net

I'm loathe to start pulling drivers in from sources other than
the mainline Linux tree as we'll start getting confused about
lineage, which will make future updates harder.

Of course, don't let that stop you ;-)

Best,
Ian
