THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

It's folks like you that make all the difference.

I was lost until I found you post.

again,

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I know a lot of you were having some problems... but hang in there... I had some problems too, I had ot do a couple more steps...


Install the newly built package (driver and man page):

rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/bcm4400-<version>.i386.rpm

The driver will be installed in the following path:

2.2.x kernels:

/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/net/bcm4400.o

2.4.x kernels:

/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/net/bcm4400.o

Load the driver:

insmod bcm4400

At no point did it just recognize it. What I did was went into network settings and after I ran the insmod bcm4400 command I went to add a new ethernet controller. Just activated it and reboot and voila!

Its a good thing the Broadcom drivers are binary rpm
I have realtek wireless controller and compiling those drivers are a pain in the rear.
