There is a kernel update (2.6.24-19) which I think is supposed to address the 
Broadcom problems.   I have never had a Broadcom card so can not help much.  
I have looked around some and there are things to do but IF this kernel 
works, ...we may not have to do a work around!  OTOH when I updated to 
2.6.24-17 my wireless and sound stopped working so I had to revert to 
2.6.24-16  while booting till 2.6.24-18 came out.  I'm a little afraid to try 
the new one!!  :)  :)  Gun-shy I guess!
