CentOS-2 does have bcm5700.o. A depmod might resolve that problem, but
I recommend that you use tg3.o instead. We have had problems with the
bcm drivers in the past but the tg3 works well for us these days. (Our
servers have 'Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet
(rev 02)')
Just edit your /etc/modules.conf and change it to include:
alias eth0 tg3
as appropriate.
