I use a Broadcom Tigon3.

I would check in your kernel for supported devices, that is the safest way to go.
For instance, I am running Gentoo on the 2.6.11 kernel and these are in the kernel
tree:

Alteon AceNIC/3Com 3C985/NetGear GA620 Gigabit support ACENIC
D-Link DL2000-based Gigabit Ethernet support DL2K
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet support E1000
National Semiconduct DP83820 support NS83820
Packet Engines Hamachi GNIC-II support HAMACHI
Packet Engines Yellowfin Gigabit-NIC support (EXPERIMENTAL) YELLOWFIN
Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support R8169
New SysKonnect GigaEthernet support (EXPERIMENTAL) SKGE
Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx Support (DEPRECATED)
VIA Velocity support VIA_VELOCITY
Broadcom Tigon3 support TIGON3
