How would I find out what network cards a particular driver supports?
(particularly the tg3 / bcm5700 driver in 2.4.x)

Cheers,

Mark.

Look in the PCI ids table, and compare that with the output of 'lspci -n'
for your card.

Is there a way to do it without actually having the card in question?

I'm trying to help a chap who has a 3Com 3c940 GigE card...

Have them run 'lspci -n' :)
