The broadcom 4401 is not supported in the current kernel. It will probably 
appear in the 2.6 kernels, as it is currently being worked on in the 2.5 
series.

You don't happen to have a Asus A7V8X (VIA KT400) mother board by chance?

I just built a new machine with that board, and it also has the broadcom 
4401 integrated network device. Getting it to work was reasonably 
painless. The board should have come with an ASUS driver CD. Mount the 
cd, and then:
tar -xvzf /mnt/cdrom/Drivers/LAN/4401/Linux/bcm4400-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd src
make
(as root) make install
modprobe bcm4400

The make process generates some warnings, but no errors, and the module 
appears to work fine.

$ /sbin/lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted

bcm4400                30880   1

Note that you need to have the kernel source package for your running 
kernel installed.

Hope that helps. There is some info on the CD as well in:
/mnt/cdrom/Drivers/LAN/4401/Linux/RELEASE.TXT
It claims there is an included source rpm, however it doesn't seem to 
exist, and I can't locate it on broadcom's website.

Hope that helps,
