I apologise; a line intended for the tg3 conversion accidentally slipped
into firmware/Makefile along with the dabusb patch, when I cherry-picked
from the old tree to omit the drivers/net patches. Again, it didn't show
up in my own testing because I already _had_ the file in question.

(Sorry, Linus. This and the previous fix are now in the for-2.6.27
branch of the same repo as before:
       git://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/firmware-2.6.git for-2.6.27

Subject: Fix accidental reference to tg3 firmware

We're not updating the tg3 driver to use request_firmware() yet, but a
reference to its firmware accidentally slipped in as part of commit
c4667746 ("dabusb: use request_firmware()"). Remove it again.
