Hi

I ran into this forum searching for a solution for the network problem. I did however found a solution with the help of my friend. The trick lay on finding the driver name.ko they are located on
/lib/modules/2.6.32.6/kernel/drivers/net/

mine was for broadcom 440x the driver name is "b44.ko" so I switched to root

$ su -

and then typed this command
$ modprobe b44

wala ... network initiated and started!

Best of luck for all of you folks
