Tigon 3 is a different name for the Broadcom 570x chips, and they are
supported by the bge driver (in -current and the head of the 1.6 branch).

The problem with the chips is that there seems to be a hardware bug for
each new revision. The driver attempts to work around those, and mostly
things should be ok.

I generally like the Intel cards better.
