after the last update of the kernel my old problem (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92710 and http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89622) evolved.
Now to start the net interface I need to launch "dhcpcd"
In modules in rc.conf I need to insert broadcom and not tg3 (the two modules that control my ethernet card).
If I don't insert broadcom in modules, ifconfig -a doesn't show me eth0 but only lo.
How can I launch dhcpc automatically? Insert it somewhere in rc.conf???

What about /etc/rc.local?

#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.
#
#dhcpcd -k eth0
#dhcpcd -nd eth0
do you think I should try to uncomment the last two entries?

I agree ^
Broadcom woes...thus far I have avoided them. Now that Intel's 'Centrino' designation no longer specifies nor guarantees the chipset hardware, I'll have to make sure to avoid those Broadcom blunders next time I buy a laptop.

Uncommented
#dhcpcd -k eth0
#dhcpcd -nd eth0
Now the lan starts at boot.
I agree about broadcom. I have a desktop pc, a dell xps and I needed 10 days to make the lancard work. Only the new kernel and the module broadcom added to module make everything ok.

My broadcom chip has given me so many troubles and I still don't have wireless working

strange surprise. Today I need to start the net manually. First of all modprobe -r tg3, modprobe -r broadcom, then load them again (first broadcom) and launch dhcpcd. Yesterday everithing worked and I didn't change any config file
