Thanks for the reply. Driver for the wired card
exists.  I can access Internet by switching off the
access point and plug in a net cable.

Log shows as follows:
kernel: eth1: Broadcom 4400 10/100BaseT Ethernet
kernel: b44: eth1: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full
duplex.
kernel: b44: eth1: Flow control is on for TX and on
for RX.
