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!

Title:
tg3 driver 1.28 does not recognize the NetXtreme BCM57766 chip
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Since 13.04 came out officially, the NetXtreme BCM57766 gigabit ethernet chip
is not recognized by the tg3 driver.
Have to recompile the kernel and apply a simple patch over and over again.
A fix exists - which consists adding the vendor identification, but it has
not made it into kernel 3.8.0-19 neither 3.8.0-21
+ {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)},
