Impact:
Many servers shipped last year have Broadcom Ethernet 5716 & 5716S
cards. They currently are not functional with 8.04.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/435185

Fix:
Two patches attached to this email add PCI IDs to the driver. Patches
based on upstream stable commits.

Testcase:
Ethernet works after patches are applied.

Based on upstream commit, though modification made for 2.6.26:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=commit;h=7bb0a04fcd610e5db59690332b 2a46b6068c8bc3

Looks fine, though you should note that this won't solve installation
problems since the last Hardy point release is already out.

Also note that these were clean cherry picks. No modification from the upstream
patches required.

Acked and applied to hardy master
