I have a notebook (HP TC4400) which has a BCM5750 ethernet card inside. The
ouput of lspci is:

08:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5750M
Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:167c]

Commit 67b284d476bcb3d100e946da23d6cf9acfd0465c removed the support for this
device.

67b284d476bcb3d100 says "These devices were never released to the public".

I wish to have the support for this network card back again. Thanks!

oops ;)

Really?  All the TC4400 documentation I find says it uses a bcm5753M on a
PCIe bus.  Can you post the full output of 'lspci -vvv -s 08:00.0' ?
