On your "not implemented" list you have:
BCM5906/M - Isochronous Send Ring
I was wondering what that actually means for us BCM56906 users? Do we lose any common feature/functionality?
Also, I get 6MB/sec when transferring data from the ethernet connection. What do other people get?

hey, glad to hear that!
the isochronous send ring is just a performance enhancement on the transmit side, it's great for data streaming. I don't remember stumbling upon that feature implementation while reading tg3(linux) and if_bge(*bsd) source code though (maybe I missed it, but I'm quite sure about it).
I don't know how much other people got since nobody put it up and I didn't ask for it either. Although I did do some benchmarking using tools like netperf and iperf. Generally I can say its performance is on par with the available driver with only slight difference. If you want the result, I can post it later as I need to dive deep into the disk looking for it  .
