I take it with the lspci output you have something such as:

04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X  
Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780  
Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)

In your kernel config you have:

<*>   Broadcom Tigon3 support    #Tigon3 support built into the kernel

and what is listed in /sys/class/net ?

and is this in your kernel:

-*- PHY Device support and infrastructure --->
*** MII PHY device drivers ***
<*> Drivers for Broadcom PHYs


The problem may be that broadcom needs to load before the tigon3 driver.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
