network card problem

[Tom Masterson]

Looks like all the headers are there.  For some reason I have yet to 
figure out bcmwl blacklisted pretty much every broadcom module.  Still 
tryi8ng to figure that one out and of course it kills it for the earlier 
versions of kernels as well so...  I may have to rebuild the box from cd 
but I really don't want to do that as I can't back up the data on it.
