4.11 ought to work well with both the Broadcom and Intel GB NICs.

However, there is little point to trying to use GB and jumbo frames  
on a NIC in a standard 33MHz PCI slot; unless you have PCI Express  
slots available or a GB card integrated with the chipset, the PCI bus  
will bottleneck the system from doing much better than a 100Mbs NIC  
would perform...
