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?

	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?
