My head is starting to spin.  I have the latest stable kernel.

Someone said that since tg3 is not loading at boot then, I shouldn't
have to remove it.  However, if I just do 'modprobe tg3', ifconfig just
returns the lo interface.  If I do 'modprobe -r broadcom' 'modprobe
broadcom' and 'modprobe tg3', I still only get the lo interface.  The
only thing that works is removing both modules and adding them again.

I also tried following the openrc document.  The only thing that seems
to suggest a solution is to add arguments for my modules.  I have no
idea what those arguments might be and although I tried googling, I
didn't really find anything that would point me in the right direction.
