D'oh! You are absolutely right, I am not sure from where I got Broadcom for ZimaBoard. Probably because I conflate BCM and RTL as both being "bleh" quality (OK for light in-band management, but no serious workloads)? Weak excuse for the inaccuracy, though.

You can even enable most offloading features without stuff exploding. On most distros, the 8111H works fine out of the box. I still miss the times of Intel 82574L & co, where you had BOTH working hardware AND working drivers.
