Make sure there is an alias for eth0 or eth1 in the /etc/modules.conf:

Example:
r o o t @ l o c a l h o s t root]# cat /etc/modules.conf
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 via-rhine
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
[r o o t @ l o c a l h o s t root]#

via-rhine is an onboard network card driver. Replace this with the one you
are using:
[r o o t @ l o c a l h o s t root]#lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
via-rhine              14792   1
mii                     3976   0  [via-rhine]
loop                   10704   3  (autoclean)
ehci-hcd               18304   0  (unused)
usb-uhci               24356   0  (unused)
usbcore                73504   1  [ehci-hcd usb-uhci]
ext3                   65280   2
jbd                    47468   2  [ext3]



^^ see the via-rhine driver in the above list.

If your broadcom driver isnt in this list, maybe you need to load it as a
kernel module. Once it appears in the list above, and has an entry in
/etc/modules.conf it should be usable as eth0.
