Same here.

Yep, it is a GPL'd driver Broadcom makes available to OEMs. See eg:
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/G.Wilford/Inspiron8500/#Ethernet_-_Broadcom_4401_4401:1028_

Version 2.0.0 seems to have a reasonably clean separation between
OS-specific and OS-independent stuff. Might be worth trying to port.
