Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-backports
My onboard ethernet works fine with the latest kernel.
With the backports modules installed, however, this isn't the case.
lspci tells the following:
02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 80a8

dmesg shows several error messages about the b44 module:

I have the same issue, with my dell. dmesg shows me the same errors when I try to load b44 module.
