This worked fine after the initial install but DHCP could not assign me an IP address. After adding the IPv6 module to the /etc/module.d/blacklist the problem went away:
blacklist ipv6
Uses the b44 driver module:

CONFIG_B44=m

If you need to enable this in your kernel, add the following:

Device Drivers  --->
    Network device support  --->
        [*] Network device support
        <M> Dummy net driver support
        <M> Bonding driver support
        Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)  --->
            [*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
            <M> Broadcom 4400 ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL)
