Niklas, how do you know your self-compiled driver is actually loaded? I
had an issue where the self-compiled driver was installed in
/lib/modules/.../extra but not actually loaded by modprobe

have you tried insmod'ing your self-compiled .ko?
have to tried putting some printk()s in your self-compiled driver to see if it is actually loaded/executed and how far it gets? you can take this further to see where is actually fails...

Title:
  tg3 driver 1.28 does not recognize the NetXtreme BCM57766 chip

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Since 13.04 came out officially, the NetXtreme BCM57766 gigabit ethernet chip is not recognized by the tg3 driver.
  Have to recompile the kernel and apply a simple patch over and over again.
  A fix exists - which consists adding the vendor identification, but it has not made it into kernel 3.8.0-19 neither 3.8.0-21

  +   {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57766)},
  +   {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57782)},
  +   {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, TG3PCI_DEVICE_TIGON3_57786)},
