Try one of the development ISOs:

What driver does the nic need?

I've no clue as to what driver is needed, I only know the type of NIC is a broadcom NC373i

I'll also give the other iso a try.

Familiarising yourself with your hardware and the drivers it requires is a very informative and useful exercise - yes, autodetection improves all the time, but it's not guaranteed, and it's no substitute for putting in a (usually) minimal amount of effort to establish the facts yourself.

And just so you don't accuse me of lecturing you without helping, I've done some googling, for curiosity's sake, and it seems you might need to use the bnx2 driver - there are various versions of this included in the Arch kernel package.
