Sean,

Thanks for all your help.  Sorry I didn't get back sooner, but I got tied up.

I ended up compiling a new kernel and bcm5700 module.  When I installed
the new kernel I got a ton of unresolved symbols and at that point gave up
that tack.

I had read about a PLUG'er who just installed using the new beta2 for
sarge so I figured I give that a try.  They are definatley getting the
bugs out and I was able to get my system up no problem.

Thanks again for the help.

Jon
