I'm just guessing here but I've had a few cards that won't be detected (returning no such device) unless irq, dma and or io address are specified. I know you shouldn't have to with pci's but I'm just guessing ?

Usually the PCI card drivers don't need this information with PCI cards.

My guess is the card is not really supported by the Broadcom 44x driver OR it is a newer card and the pci id is not listed in the driver information for this card.

A good test is to download the latest version of KNOPPIX (3.9, I believe) and see if it works.

If it does work, open a terminal window and type:

lsmod | more

and see what network driver module name was used.
