There is a file in the modules directory of your initrd called
'pcitable' that maps pci device ids to drivers, if you add the correct
information for your device here it will be able to detect which driver
to use instead of asking you.  You can find the pci id of your cards by
running the command 'lspci' and looking for the slot the broadcom card
is in, then run 'lspci -n' to see the device ids and look for the same
slot.
