The driver (bc5700) that is available has the wrong base iomem address 
for the G40.  I was able to change the value in the header file and 
recompiled it against the kernel I was using.  You need to recompile the 
driver and install it.  It is necessary to recompile it since it has to 
be done against the kernel you are using.  The instructions are in the 
included README.TXT file under the section "Building the Driver From 
Tar  File".  If anyone would like the driver source tar, feel free to 
contact me.  Broadcom was nice enough to release it under GPL.
