I have an Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet device here, and running 3.5-rc6 it
isn't detected.  It has PCI id 14e4:1682, which seems like it should be
supported by the tg3 driver.  Any hints?

I guess I could just go and add the device id to the driver and see what
happens...

And that worked, patch sent.

But, as the patch shows, odds are it has a "real" device type in it,
so the #define I used isn't as descriptive as it should be.  Any hints
on how I can figure out what to look at to make it more "correct"?

a long-shot, but maybe there is something in the pci.ids database?

Ah, nice, there is something there:
	1682 NetXtreme BCM57762 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe

I'll redo the patch with that information, thanks.
