I recently downloaded the linux driver from broadcom.com. It had the
source and the rpm files for the driver. It also had a disk image with
the network driver.
do a search for bcm5700-6.2.17
As for adding the driver into the initrd, do a search on google and use
the broadcom's disk image as an example. I was able to modify Redhat's
bootable CD image adding the broadcom driver. I'm still looking for my
documentation.

Hi All,
I am using Redhat 8.0 with a custom ks.cfg file to load many servers.
The new servers I have use a new (different) Ethernet card (Broadcom
5700). The standard RedHat 8 doesn't support this card out of the box.
I was wondering if there is documentation on adding that module
(bcm5700.o) as well as updating the files (pcitable?) in the
initrd.img and recreating it so it will find the card.
Any help would be great, thanks
Glenn MacGregor
Glenn -
You might find it by searching on HP/Compaq's website. I got a nice
bootnet.eep floppy image file from them for
RH 7.3 which had the Broadcom and the Intel GB drivers incorporated into
it. It sure is a lot easier than trying to make your own.
