Broadcom NetXtreem Desktop/Mobile series.

N/A.
I read Linux 2.6.26.3 codes(tg3 driver, it's support only BCM5761),
but I found many quirk:-(. So I gave up to support this family.
According to my BCM5764, BGE_CHIPID(BGE_CHIPID_BCM5764) is 0xf1000000,
PCI Vendor ID is 0x14e4 and PCI Device ID is 0x1684.
