Eric,
I had to download the drivers from broadcom.com
They had a driver that works in the kernel-BOOT environment as well a
driver for the OS.
I had to make a new version of the boot.iso image to include the new module.
First you then have to modify the initrd.img to include the driver:
for example:
zcat -9 initrd.img >> initrd.img.un
mount -o loop initrd.img.un loop/
edit modules-info file: add:
bcm5700
eth
"BCM5700 NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver"
Modify modules.cgz
zcat modules.cgz > modules.cpio
cpio -i --make-directories < modules.cpio
this creates the directory: 2.4.20-8BOOT
copy desired modules into this 2.4.20-8BOOT folder.
Ie: bcm5700.o
recompress, etc....
