Thanks for the details. Googling, I found some discussions about this card, including this: https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/4wh3gu/is_the_broadcom_bcm5709_chipset_no_longer/ I believe this is the Linux configuration option / driver: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/BNX2.html However, since it appears that this driver is not free software, linux-libre will have disabled it and it won't be supported within GNU Guix.
