I just noticed that the Net Install iso I downloaded and burned is "Sarge" and has an option to install a 2.6 kernel. But when I started to do an install of the 2.6 kernel, there was a message that listed modules that were not included but were needed by my hardware. Yep, the Broadcom 440 NIC was in the list and the module that is not there is "b44". So, even Sarge doesn't have support for the 440 yet.

I don't feel competent to compile a new kernel yet, so I guess I will just have to wait for the final release of Sarge.
