I (well work) recently purchased a KFN5-D motherboard for a Xen VM
host.  The TG3 5787 chipset interfaces that are found onboard weren't
supported in the 2.6.16.29 kernel that Xen stable is based on. 
However stock 2.6.18.1 and RHEL 2.6.9-42.0.3 supports it, as well as
a dozen other TG3 chips found on many of the attractive new
motherboards on the market.

I've forward ported the RHEL driver, which is a backport of the
2.6.18.1 driver (judging from linux/pci_ids.h), and it runs stable
and has for over a week now.  Attached is a patch for the
linux-2.6.16.29-xen patched tree to add support for the 5754, 5754M,
5755, 5755M, 5787 (tested), 5787M, 5714S, and 5715S.

Hope it is of some use to someone.
