When installing there was no networing setup.
The first install attempt I assumed that support was in the kernel since it wasn't on the list of non-supported nics in the installation manual. That didn't work.
On the second attempt I tried the add modules option and it wasn't listed.
I tried google and all I got were similiar horror stories.
How do I get this to work?
Asus A7V8X mobo with Broadcom 4400 onboard lan SiS on board audio
According to this page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~haanjdj/broadcom.html "[the Broadcom] chip has recently become supported in stock kernels, so if you compile your own kernels, download the latest 2.4 or 2.6 release and give it a try." and according to a Debian page: http://packages.debian.org/testing/net/bcm4400-source.html "Note that the Linux kernel >= 2.4.22 includes the Broadcom 4400 driver. You may want to consider using the kernel driver instead."
What kernel version do you have?
I don't know. Whatever is on the CD.
Run "uname -a". If your CD is a woody ("stable") CD, and it probably is, you're probably running a 2.2 kernel. If so, run "apt-cache search kernel-image-2.4 | more" to see if you have any 2.4 kernels available on your CD. If you do, pick the appropriate one (like "kernel-image-2.4.18-586" for a fairly recent kernel for a Pentium-class computer, or "kernel-image-2.4.22-1-k7" for an even newer kernel for an AMD-K7-based computer) and install it, with a command like "apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-586". After the requisite reboot, run "uname -a" again to make sure you're running your new kernel, and then try to add the appropriate Broadcom module.
