This means that your kernel is not configured with the corresponding module=
s=20
for your network card, or that there is some other configuration problem wi=
th=20
e.g. firmware loading (if such a thing is necessary for your card).

What does dmesg show? =20
What does cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i tg3 show

So the question is why when you remove and install the module manually your=

NIC driver loads, but at boot time it does not ...

Please show:
grep ^[^#] /etc/conf.d/net
ifconfig and ifconfig -a (before and after you modprobe the driver)
It may also help to know what is your card (lshw and lspci -v).
