It may have been patched = by now. 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.
