[plug] HP/Compaq NX5000 Broadcom BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX NIC problem

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

After some searching on the Internet, I found a web page at 
http://downgra.de/x20/ , which showed that that author apparently got 
the NIC operational, by using the manufacturer's driver.

So, after a bit if searching, I found a web page apparently for the NIC 
driver, at http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/4401.php , from 
which I downloaded the Linux(i386) driver, which I think is a g.zip file.

What do I need to do, to install it and get it going, so that I can 
continuously operate the network card?

Thanks in anticipation.
