It depends on whether you have ASF enabled or not and what

version of

ASF you have.  ASF is management firmware running inside

the NIC.  When

the tg3 driver loads, it will show ASF[1] in dmesg if ASF

is enabled.

Both machines have that string in their dmesg.

It may be different versions of ASF.  Try ethtool -i eth0.  It
may tell us the firmware version.

$ sudo ethtool -i eth0
driver: tg3
version: 3.92.1
firmware-version: 5704-v3.26
bus-info: 0000:02:00.0

The other box is the same, only that bus-info ends in .1, and the .0
device is unused.
