I have an Acer Aspire E1-572 which has a BCM57786 GE NIC
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57786 Gigabit
Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
01:00.1 SD Host controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM57765/57785 SDXC/MMC Card
Reader (rev 01)
02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network
Adapter (rev 01)
the BCM57786 is not detected by Ubuntu 2013.10
adding the following devices to tg3.c
+ {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57766)},
+ {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57782)},
+ {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57786)},
and building a custom tg3.ko fixes the problem and the NIC works
please apply above patch to the Ubuntu source tree, thanks!
