Well http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php there is no driver for i686 as you can see, so I reinstalled tg3. But it is not working with the new kernel. Maybe I should install the 64 bit version of FC3 for my athlon 64? I have the feeling on 64 bit I will have many problems with software (like flashplayer, java plugin, there is no battery meter for my notebook and so on).
