Comments/Problems:

The b44 module for my Broadcom BCM4401 10/100 ethernet card can't get an IP through DHCP. I tried this using the same module on an already-installed system, with the same results. This must have something to do with running half-duplex, because it's worked fine on previous installs on a 100MB connection.

My current Woody system using Broadcom's GPL bcm4400 module works fine and gets an IP immediately.

Two ways to fix this:

- Switch to Broadcom's bcm4400 driver (it's GPL)
- Upgrade to a later kernel which might(?) include a less buggy b44 driver
