You can try searching launchpad:
<https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=bnx2+%2Bhardy&field.actions.search=Search>

<https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=BCM5708+%2Bhardy&field.actions.search=Search>

These are karmic bugs, but sound similar to your issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/394783
[Broadcom BCM5708 "SIOCSIFADDR: No such device"]
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/384861
[Broadcom NetXtreme II (BCM5708) not detected by installer [karmic]]
And possibly of interest:
