    Boot up with the livecd, do "lsmod" to find out which module is being loaded for your Broadcomm.
    Then make sure that that module is in /etc/modules.autoload.d-kernel-2.6.
    You can do that by chrooting into your system.
    Reboot, see if you still get the error.

    After the "lsmod", you can compile the desired module into the kernel.

    This one you edit the module-file:
    Code:
    nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
    Or if you just want to see the file:
    Code:
    less /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

    When you did the lsmod, did you see the column "used by"?
    You might have to compile it into the kernel as jaboua suggested.

    To put it into the modulesautoload file, do this
    Code:
    nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d-kernel-2.6
    Type the name of the module in.
    Then hit Ctrl + x to save your work.

    Just save and reboot if you have compiled the modules. If not, you'll have to compile the modules first:
    Code:
    su -c "cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make && make modules_install"

    Sounds like you forgot the minus in front of the capital C... Also, make sure your kernel three is in /usr/src/linux
