I got the modules mounted correctly I think.  I am looking at modules.dep but it is 1446 lines not 100% sure what I am looking for.  Can I grep this? 

Sure it is just a text file.

  New amd chip and parts on the way so I will be busy again here this 
weekend.  I tried to grep it for Broadcom but it appears to have hung 
researching.  Well I got grep to work

Not knowing exactly what hardware you have this is difficult to answer. 
I suspect you will need firmware for the board too and I am afraid you 
may have to find it off the mainline kernel.

It cannot hurt to just load the modules you identified. They will barf 
if the hardware does not match. You should also browse the /lib/firmware 
directory to see if there are firmware modules for this chip/board.

cheers
