The tg3 driver should work for that.  If it's on the BBC, you'll want to
configure it through the "specify" option of trivial-net-setup.  It's not
listed among the selected drivers, nor is it autoloaded.

However, I don't recall if the tg3 is on the 2.1 image (it should be, it's
been in the kernel tree since 2.4.16).

If it's there, it'll work.  You'll just have to manually specify it.
