Inspiron 8600 with Gigabit network adapter

Question

I have an 8600 and would like to upgrade it to 10/100/1000 network capabilities (Gigabit).  The Latitude D800 uses the new Broadcom BCM5705M Gigabit Ethernet controller, and it looks like it will work in the 8600. 1) Where can I order this part? (BCM5705M) 2) Does anybody see any problems doing this? Thanks!

I just found out that the D800's ethernet controller is on the motherboard.  OH well.
