If this solution doesn't work for you, where is the problem exactly? Does lspci list a Broadcom model not found on their driver page? If yes, I suggest that you call their tech support, because that would be a big mistake on their part. So I just downloaded the driver for the NetXtreme 5755 chipset from the page I linked above. Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02). Typing lspci in the terminal lists the way all devices identify themselves to the OS. When I reinstalled my laptop (I also have a Broadcom NIC) I had the same problem as you. I don't know if there is a way to determine the correct model using XP when the driver is not installed (when it is installed, running ipconfig in command line lists all NICs with their model). Maybe you downloaded a driver for the wrong adapter model? Generally, all Broadcom Ethernet drivers should be available from the manufacturer here. I am amazed that you couldn't find it on Broadcom.
