Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

The network detection phase reports no adapters found, presents manual
selection menu.  Manually loading the assorted Broadcom options listed
there doesn't help.  Using a debug console to issue the modprobe
commands produces no errors, but doesn't help: no additional messages
appear in dmesg output, still no adapter detected.

lspci shows two interfaces (retyped):

07:00.0 Ethernet controller Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12)

08:0d.0 Ethernet controller Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12)

This is a re-install of this hardware, which was previously running i386
etch.

Right. Then closing this report as it's a duplicate of #487228. See that 
report for workaround instructions.

Cheers,
