Ethernet Driver for broadcom bcm5754

[Sushil Mantri]

Thanks Tapas for your reply.

Ubuntu repo has packages for the ones you mentioned, but bcm5754 is
*not* a wireless card. Its an ethernet controller. I could find source
package here http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/bcm5700-source. But as
mentioned earlier i am getting issues building it.
It seems to need the whole kernel source and not just the headers, and
i am confused about that

Any suggestions are welcome
