As an FYI to the list, I installed GB Lite 5.01 on a system with a Broadcom
5702 integrated NIC and it came up just fine.

Chris,
We have tested the following onboard chips/NIC's on some new Dell's
using GB-OS 5.0.1.
Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 identified as bce
and
Broadcom BCM5750 C1 identified as gbe
The GB Ware OS identified and allowed us to use both. However, GTA
has not performed any performance testing above basic connections and
administration.
Hopefully I got those names correct. Anyway, you could boot the
5.0.0 or 5.0.1 with your system that has broadcom chip set and it
may work for you. Any feed back to the performance can be sent to
support_at_gta_dot_com
These have been added to our NIC locator - http://www.gta.com/tech/locator/
Just search on GB-Ware, bge or bce
David
