Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact: Broadcom 5788 ethernet card is not currently supported in 9.10. This ethernet card is going to be included with some upcoming platforms from OEMs. Support is already in 2.6.32.

Fix: Here is the commit for 2.6.32 that adds support. It's just adding the ID to the driver:
