I built it into the kernel.

Unfortunately, it doesn't help. The driver either oopses or just doesn't work
(I don't know what exactly causes it to oops, although that only happens during
boot).
However, Ingo wrote that
" the firmware image, if i compare the before and after tg3FwText
hex dump is blatantly different. Is this some different format, or did
the "convert to request_firmware()" commit also embed an undocumented
version jump in the binary blob that is loaded to your card? "
May this be the source of the problem?
