I cannot connect to wired network (even though it appears as Auto Ethernet, and i cannot “see” any wireless networks even though I have my home network running.
lspci -k shows BCM4401 ethernet controller as using driver b44 and the network controller - BCM4306 with kernel driver b43-pci-bridge in use.
the only items i DO NOT see with kernel drivers in use are: ISA Bridge:Ali Corporation M1533/M1535/M1543 PCI to ISA Bridge - No driver,
PCI bridge: ATI Technologies PCI Bridge - NO driver
Please help me figure out why I cannot get wired/wireless network setup.
I do not have SSH ACCESS so i cannot give full details.

These are likely not important. Most bridges do not need a separate driver.
The BCM4306 is not working because you need firmware for it; however, loading
the firmware is difficult without network access. As a result, I will
concentrate on getting the wired network to work.
As you have a new 11.3 install, you are likely being affected by one or another
of the bugs on the install medium. Please post the results of the following
commands:
lo:
Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr…everything 0
cat /etc/resolv.cong everything is commented out… i think i have to start some networking program (networkmanager or netconfig…etc). I dont recognize anything familiar in /etc/init.d (im used to gentoo).

Please post output like this between “code” tags to preserve the formatting.
You have no default gateway, which is one of the bugs in 11.3 distribution media.
To fix this, you will need to issue a command like:
sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
If your router does not have 192.168.1.1 as its address, replace that value with
the correct one.
This change should allow your wired device to reach the local network. Next run
the following two commands:
ping -c 216.83.154.106
ping -c www.samba.org
If the first succeeds and the second fails, then add the line “nameserver
8.8.8.8” to /etc/resolv.conf. If both fail, then repost the output of
“/sbin/ifconfig”. If both work, your network should be up and running.
