Help with Broadcom 5751 NIC isntallation

[sentrme]

I really could use some help on this. I am using a KNOPPIX/DSL LiveCD to run a kiosk for some computers that only have access to Mozilla. It is called BoothCD.

I need help on installing the Drivers for a Braodcom NetXtreme 5751 NIC card.

the boothcd is running Kernel 2.4.26, I have been trying to learn how to recompile the kernel to 2.6.x, but have failed horribably.

When I run lspci -v

Ethernet Controller: Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device 1677 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Computer Corporation: Unknown device 01ad
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at fe8f0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64k]
Capabilities: [48] Power Management verion 2
Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
Capabilities: [58] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bits+ Queue=0/3 Enable-
Capabilities: [d0] #10 [0001]

When running lsmod, the tg3 module is not loaded.

I know that the 2.6.x kernel has the Broadcom module built in.

Can someone recommend what I should do? The NIC autodetects with the 2.6.x kernel but not the 2.4.26.

I'm so frustrated with this, so any help I am going to be very thankful.

is this booth cd a custom knoppix distro? Knoppix use the 2.6 kernel by default.......
you might try instaling one of the debian 2.6 packages, that is what knoppix is based on.

The boothcd was mad from an older version of Knoppix, I am more then willing to try and create a new Kiosk cd from a new linux, but I am lacking the knowledge of how to modify scripts for linux. There a quite a few scripts that are built into this boothCD here is the link to the site

If someone can point me to a website that can explain how I go about modifing linux scripts and making them start up when linux boots, I would love to take that route.
